Screening every month?
Turn a one-off check into ongoing monitoring
OIG and most states update their lists monthly. We re-screen your full roster on a schedule and send you the report, so a new exclusion never sits unnoticed until audit time.
- Your roster screened every month, automatically
- New State Medicaid lists added as coverage grows
- A dated report each cycle for your compliance file
- Volume pricing as low as $0.11 per record
Sources we screen
Primary-source data, refreshed automatically on each source’s publishing schedule.
…and many other sources, with new state lists added on an ongoing basis.
Explainable, consistent matching
Every potential match gets a 0–100 confidence score built from fixed, documented rules. The same input always produces the same result, and every match lists the factors that aligned: name, NPI, date of birth, city and state.
1. Upload
Enter a name or upload a roster with names and any identifiers you have, such as NPI or date of birth.
2. Screen
Each record is checked against every federal and State Medicaid list we cover. Strong name similarity is always flagged for review, regardless of overall score.
3. Document
Download your PDF report and Excel workbook. Keep them as your screening evidence for that date.
Simple per-record pricing
Pay only for what you screen. The more records you upload, the lower the rate.

Frequently asked questions
Why pay when OIG and SAM have free search tools?
The free government tools each search one list, one name at a time, and leave you to capture your own evidence. Taiga Check searches OIG, SAM, OFAC and State Medicaid exclusion lists at once and produces a dated PDF report you can hand to an auditor.
Who needs exclusion screening?
Any organization that bills Medicare or Medicaid, including hospitals, physician practices, home health and hospice agencies, skilled nursing facilities, and Fire/EMS agencies. Employing or contracting with an excluded person can lead to civil monetary penalties and repayment of claims.
How often should we screen?
Monthly screening is the widely followed standard because OIG and many states update their lists monthly. Screen new hires, providers and vendors before onboarding, then monthly after that.
Is a potential match the same as an exclusion?
No. A name match is a flag for review, not a determination. Use the identifiers in the report, such as NPI, address and date of birth, to confirm or rule out identity before taking action.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You can run a one-off screen and pay by card. If you screen regularly, we can set up recurring monitoring.
