Terms

Last updated: September 16, 2026

CFExclusion is the exclusion screening service operated by CFAISolutions LLC (C.F.A.I.). These terms govern the service. By searching, paying for a report, subscribing to Monthly Screening, or otherwise using the service, you ("the Client" or "you") agree to them. Please read them — they define what CFExclusion does, what you are responsible for, and the limits of that relationship.

1. What CFExclusion does

CFExclusion screens the individuals and entities you search or submit against publicly available federal and state exclusion, debarment, and sanction lists — the HHS-OIG LEIE, SAM.gov exclusions, and available state Medicaid exclusion lists (currently 41 states; see /sources for current coverage). A free search returns a summary result. A paid report compiles the full results into a dated report. On the Monthly Screening subscription, CFExclusion re-screens your submitted roster on a recurring basis.

2. What CFExclusion is — and is not

CFExclusion provides screening information to help you meet your compliance obligations. CFExclusion is a data and screening service — not a law firm, and it does not provide legal advice. A screening report is a tool to inform your decisions. It is not a legal determination, a guarantee of compliance, or an employment decision.

3. Your information is your responsibility

This is the most important section — read it. CFExclusion can only screen the names, organizations, and rosters you tell it about, using the information you provide. The screening is only as good as your information. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the information you search, submit, or upload is:

  • Complete — for Monthly Screening, you must include every individual and entity that should be screened: employees, providers, contractors, and any vendors you pay who touch patient care or billing. CFExclusion is not responsible for, and you remain solely liable for, any person, provider, contractor, or vendor you fail to include. CFExclusion cannot screen someone it was never told exists.
  • Accurate — names, dates of birth, NPIs, EINs, and other identifiers must be correct as entered or submitted. CFExclusion screens the data exactly as you provide it. CFExclusion is not responsible for results affected by inaccurate, misspelled, or transposed information in your search or submission.
  • Current — for Monthly Screening, you are responsible for keeping your roster up to date and for promptly notifying CFExclusion of any additions, removals, or changes (new hires, terminations, new or discontinued vendors). CFExclusion can only screen the roster you have provided; it is not responsible for individuals or entities added to, or changed within, your organization that were not submitted to CFExclusion.

4. CFExclusion screens what you submit, as you submit it

CFExclusion screens the data exactly as it appears in your own search or submission. CFExclusion does not alter, correct, or supplement the identifying information you provide. Screening results reflect only the data you submitted, checked against the lists described above, as of the date the screening is run.

5. Records are retained, not altered or deleted

CFExclusion retains the reports it generates and, for Monthly Screening subscribers, the roster submissions it receives. When a subscriber's roster changes, prior versions are preserved and marked as superseded — CFExclusion does not delete or overwrite submitted data. This creates a dated record of exactly what was submitted, and what was screened, for each cycle. These records are maintained for your benefit and as a record of the service performed.

6. Possible matches — you verify, you decide

Because different people and entities can share the same or similar names, screening may return "possible matches" that require review. CFExclusion will identify these for you. Confirming or ruling out a possible match, and any decision that follows, is yours. Confirming a possible match may require additional identifying information, which you are responsible for verifying — including, where necessary, directly through official government sources.

7. Decisions about your people are yours

All decisions about your own staff and vendors — hiring, retention, leave, contracting, or termination — are made by you and your organization, under your own policies and applicable law. CFExclusion provides information; it does not make, direct, or recommend any employment or contracting decision. You remain responsible for your own compliance with all applicable laws and program requirements. CFExclusion's service assists with, but does not replace, your compliance obligations.

8. Data sources and timing

Exclusion lists are published and updated by government agencies on their own schedules. There can be a lag between when an agency adds or removes an entry and when it appears in a published list. CFExclusion makes commercially reasonable efforts to use current data and to re-screen on the stated schedule, but does not guarantee that any list is complete, error-free, or updated in real time, because the underlying government data is outside CFExclusion's control.

9. Social Security numbers are not used in this service

CFExclusion does not require, request, or store Social Security numbers. Screening is performed using names, organization names, NPIs, and state — not Social Security numbers. Where confirming a possible match requires an SSN, you verify that directly through official government resources, on your own systems, directly with OIG — CFExclusion does not collect, request, transmit, or store it. Any future or premium service tier that involves additional identifiers would be offered under its own terms and additional safeguards.

10. Limitation of liability

CFExclusion provides its service using commercially reasonable efforts. To the maximum extent permitted by law, CFExclusion's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid CFExclusion for the service in the three (3) months preceding the claim. CFExclusion is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, for any decision you make based on a screening result, or for any loss arising from information you failed to submit, submitted inaccurately, or failed to keep current.

11. Search, reports, and monthly billing

A basic search is free, with no signup required for a limited number of searches per day. A full detail report is a one-time $25 charge, billed at the time of purchase through Stripe. The Monthly Screening subscription (Base or Direct tier) is billed monthly at the posted rate; there is no setup fee and no long-term contract, and you may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing month.

12. Changes to these terms

CFExclusion may update these terms. Continued use of the service after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CFAISolutions LLC and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your use of the service in a manner not authorized by these Terms
  • Your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation
  • Any content you submit, post, or transmit through the service

14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the service shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation. If not resolved within 30 days, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration seated in Sacramento County, California, administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Sacramento County, California, to prevent irreparable harm. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against CFAISolutions LLC.

15. Data completeness and affiliation

The underlying government lists may be incomplete, delayed, or out of date at the source. CFExclusion does not guarantee that any list is complete, current, or error-free, and does not warrant that screening by itself satisfies any legal or regulatory obligation. CFExclusion is not affiliated with HHS, OIG, SAM.gov, or any state or federal agency.
