Medicaid exclusion screening requirements in Wyoming
What Wyoming Medicaid requires of the organizations that take part in it: whether the state keeps its own exclusion list, how often it expects you to check, what the penalties are, and how an action taken in another state reaches you here. Every claim on this page links to the source it came from.
What Exclia screens for this state
Wyoming’s own Medicaid exclusion list is rolling out to Exclia. The federal lists (OIG LEIE and SAM.gov) are screened today.
What the state requires
Consult the official state publication and confirm identity and current status.
The reviewed Medicaid publication does not establish a statewide screening frequency. Publication date and Exclia retrieval timestamp are separate facts; a matching name alone is not an eligibility determination.
Why monthly, and where the exposure comes from
The HHS Office of Inspector General publishes the federal exclusion list (the LEIE) monthly, and its guidance to providers is that screening staff and contractors each month is what best limits the risk of overpayment and civil monetary penalty liability. State Medicaid agencies are themselves required to check the LEIE no less frequently than monthly (42 C.F.R. § 455.436(c)(2)), which is the rhythm the lists move on.
The state’s own list
Wyoming Medicaid Provider Exclusion List
Wyoming keeps its own Medicaid exclusion list, separate from the federal OIG list. Searching one does not cover the other.
The state publishes a six-page PDF with individual and business names, provider type and number, city/state and action date. Provider numbers mix Medicaid identifiers, licenses and some explicitly labeled NPIs.

How Exclia reads this list
Exclia reads the monthly Wyoming Medicaid list (PDF), finding each month’s file from the publisher’s page.
Some rows carry action codes whose current meaning the publisher does not state. Exclia stores every row as evidence but screens none of them until those meanings are confirmed.
Whether this source is screening today, and the exact file version in use, is shown on the coverage page.
What happens if it is not done
The state identifies this as its provider exclusion list.
- The PDF does not publish restoration dates. Absence from a replacement roster or an elapsed action date is not proof of reinstatement.
The federal exposure behind the state requirement
Where a federal health care program pays for an item or service furnished, ordered, or prescribed by a person on an exclusion list, the OIG can seek repayment of what was paid, civil monetary penalties for each item or service claimed (a statutory $10,000, adjusted annually for inflation), and an assessment of up to three times the amount claimed. The standard is what the organization knew or should have known — which is why the date of your last check is the fact that matters.
How another state’s action reaches you here
Section 6501 of the Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(39), implemented at 42 C.F.R. § 455.416(c)) requires a state Medicaid agency to deny or end the enrollment of any provider that was terminated for cause on or after January 1, 2011 under Medicare, or under the Medicaid or CHIP program of any other state, and that appears in the federal termination database. In practice that means an action taken against a provider in one state reaches their participation in every other — so the list that matters to you is not only your own state's.
Common questions
No. The published column mixes licensing, state provider and NPI information. Unlabeled numbers remain source evidence rather than inferred national identifiers.
No. Live coverage requires enabled collection, approved immutable evidence and sufficiently recent retrieval shown on the coverage page. This guide is pending counsel review.
Check one name against the federal lists, free
One name, no account, and the result states which sources it covered and which it did not. It is a spot check rather than monitoring — it does not satisfy a monthly requirement on its own.
Run a free checkOr do it for the whole roster, every month
Exclia screens every person and vendor on your roster each month against the sources we cover, and keeps the dated audit trail that shows you did it.
