Health care exclusions that took effect in 2026
the Office of Inspector General's exclusion list held 2,212 exclusions that took effect in 2026, the year to date, and were still in effect as of September 2026, according to HHS-OIG’s List of Excluded Individuals and Entities.
Of these, 2,121 are on individuals and 91 on entities. That is 2.6% of every exclusion on the list, and ranks 24th of the 48 years whose total prints, in the hub’s year table.
The year is the exclusion date, when the exclusion took effect, not when the conduct behind it occurred. The list holds only exclusions still in effect, so an early year counts what remains of it, not what OIG imposed then, and 2026 runs only to the file of September 2026.
| Measure | Value |

| Individuals | 2,121 |

By state, DC and territory
The place is the one on the exclusion’s row, not the person’s home. Of the 53 places with a row from 2026, 13 have their individuals withheld, because they are fewer than 11 or because a printed total would give such a count back; their entities print.
