California Medicaid exclusions by month

Each month DHCS publishes a new CSV with the month in its file name (for example, “august-2026”), so bookmark the catalog page rather than the file.

About 23,400 rows. Each row has last, first and middle name, AKA/DBA names, addresses, provider type, license number, provider numbers and the date of suspension.

The “Active Period” column reads “Indefinitely effective” for current suspensions. Reinstated providers are removed from the list rather than marked.

The provider number field mixes Medi-Cal numbers, license numbers and NPIs, sometimes several in one cell — match on the NPI only when exactly one appears.

Organizations are listed in the last-name column with no first name, so search that column for business names too.

Each figure counts entries in the current edition of the state’s official list by the action date the state publishes for each entry: the exclusion, suspension or termination date, depending on the list. Entries with no date are counted in the list size but not in any month.

A state list shows what the state publishes today. When a state removes an entry, for example after reinstatement, it leaves every month it was counted in, and a new edition can add an entry with an earlier date. The figures describe the edition named on the page.

States publish on their own schedules and some lists cover terminations or suspensions rather than exclusions, so counts are not comparable across states as rates. No names or identifiers are published here. To check a name, use the free exclusion check.
