Flags in public data over time
Illinois providers with any flag and with high-severity flags, from saved refresh snapshots. Each provider is counted once per series. Lead, not proof.
Only saved dates are shown; missing weeks are not counted as zero. Changes can reflect source coverage or rule updates, not changes in wrongdoing.
How to report to OIG
Check the source records and document supported concerns before reporting to the HHS Office of Inspector General. A flag alone is not evidence of wrongdoing. Lead, not proof.

Method and sources
Counts come from the live FraudFinder Watchlist, built from CMS Medicare enrollment, ownership and payment files and the HHS OIG exclusion list (LEIE). Every published lead passes automated cross-checks against the source files, and the data is re-pulled every Monday.
