Il Medical Exclusions MCP server

@pipeworx/il-medical-exclusions

Illinois Medicaid provider sanctions screening. Check a provider by name, NPI or license number against the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) Office of Inspector General Provider Sanctions list, the state-level counterpart to the federal HHS OIG LEIE (leie pack) and sibling of tx-medical-exclusions, ny-omig-exclusions, ca-medical-exclusions and fl-medical-exclusions.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1866+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

An NPI or license match is an identification; a name match, even an exact one, is a candidate lead only (the list publishes no date of birth). The response leads with counts by action type, then the matches. Each match carries the action type (Terminated, Barred, Exclusion, Suspended, Voluntary Withdrawal), the action date, provider type and any affiliated business. A no-match names the filters tried.

type, NPI and license coverage, oldest and newest action date and capture date. With year or a date range it counts actions in that window over the whole list, split by action type. The counted field is action_date (HFS's Action Date), named in the response.

Data source

Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, Office of Inspector General: Provider Sanctions list (3,273 rows at capture, 1979 to date). Entities and individuals disenrolled from the Medical Assistance Program, including providers who voluntarily withdrew. dataasof on every response is the date the data was last refreshed.

What the list does and does not say

"currently sanctioned"; it reports what HFS still lists at dataasof.

• No per-record reason text and no date of birth are published.
• No reinstatement field is published, so the pack does not label anyone

Personal data

HFS also publishes a street address, city, state and zip for many rows. They are dropped at ingest and are not stored or served anywhere in this pack. A test asserts every baked row carries only the seven fields above. This follows the standing rule for state exclusion packs: name plus the sanction record plus the date, never an address for an individual.

How the data is served

The publisher serves the list only through a search portal that needs a session and an anti-forgery token before it will page, so a per-request proxy would be a three-step handshake against a government site on every call. The list is copied by scripts/bake-index.mjs, registered in workers/gateway/src/pack-baked-indexes.json, uploaded to KV at deploy and injected as args._bakedIndex (never a module-scope import; fleet #2754). A missing or malformed injection throws loudly rather than answering "not found".

Refresh: re-run node mcps/il-medical-exclusions/scripts/bake-index.mjs and commit; there is no scheduled refresh yet, same as the sibling baked packs.
