At a glance
Here is where 1Lookup wins against ProviderTrust, and where ProviderTrust still wins.
These are different sizes of the same job. ProviderTrust is a compliance platform: it screens and monitors people and organizations continuously against the OIG list, SAM.gov, state Medicaid lists and more, sits beside credentialing and license checks, and sells by demo and quote. 1Lookup is one self-serve API for the OIG list: you send an NPI, a name or a business name and get a verdict in the same request, with the date of the list, on a printed price and one shared credit balance. 1Lookup checks the OIG list only and monitors nothing.
- A printed price and a self-serve key, where ProviderTrust sells by demo and quote and provisions accounts through an implementation team
- One call checks an NPI, a name, a business name, or an NPI and a name together, where the documented instant search takes exactly one NPI per request
- A verdict in a plain word for each provider, with the exclusion type in words and the date of the OIG list in every answer
- A malformed NPI, a lone word and a list that could not be read cost nothing, and the same key and balance also pay for phone, email and IP validation
What it costs
From $6.00
per 1,000 exclusion checks; $14.85 on Starter
- It monitors continuously: the page says its monitoring 'keeps watch continuously, so your team catches new exclusions, sanctions, and disciplinary actions as they occur', where a one-time check answers only when asked.
- The list of sources is far wider than the OIG's: the page names the HHS-OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, all state Medicaid exclusion and sanction lists, the CMS Preclusion List, the NPPES NPI Registry, the Medicare Opt-Out list, OFAC's SDN and Non-SDN lists and the Social Security Death Master File.
- It says it matches more exactly: it describes 'enhanced primary source data' enriched 'with unique identifiers to return exact-match results', and claims it has discovered more than 60,000 exclusions and that 44% of what it catches is found only through its enhanced data (its own figures, not checked by us).
- The API is documented in public: the docs index lists subjects, events, subscriptions and webhooks, an instant search by NPI, one-time verifications and credential checks, and the overview says 'ProviderTrust can grant Sandbox access for Client development testing'.
- Its certifications page lists HITRUST CSF certification (r2), SOC 2 Type II compliance and NCQA credentialing certification, and prints '99.5% guaranteed uptime on AWS infrastructure'.

Short answer
ProviderTrust sells exclusion and sanction screening and automated exclusion monitoring through a platform and an API, with no price printed: its product pages end in 'Book a Demo'. 1Lookup's OIG Exclusion Check is a self-serve API that checks an NPI, a name or a business name against the OIG list for 3 credits, about $0.015 on Starter, and monitors nothing.
What replaces what
Here is which 1Lookup product matches each ProviderTrust job.
ProviderTrust prices by quote and provisions accounts through an implementation team. This is the single OIG check as a self-serve API call, billed per completed check on a shared credit balance.

A real result
This is what one 1Lookup result looks like.
Send an NPI or a name
POST a 10-digit NPI, a first and last name or a business name, with a two-letter state if you have one. The NPI's check digit is verified first, and a malformed entry is refused with a clear error and costs nothing.
We read the OIG list
The entry is checked against the OIG's list of excluded individuals and entities. An NPI is looked up exactly, and a name is matched on its first and last name in any order, with titles dropped and accents and case ignored.
Get the answer, flat and structured
The outcome, match count, closest listing, exclusion type and the date of the list arrive in one JSON payload. Every completed check bills 3 credits, and an entry that is refused or a list that cannot be read bills nothing.
One call returns a dated exclusion answer for a provider

The evidence
Here is the evidence behind every number on this page.
Here are ProviderTrust and 1Lookup side by side on the terms you check before you sign.
The terms that decide what a year actually costs, rather than what the first month does. “Not listed” means we could not verify it on either product’s published pages, not that the answer is nothing.
| Term | 1Lookup | ProviderTrust |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum commitment | None. Monthly plans with no contract and no minimum volume; cancel any time | Not listed |
| API access | Included on every plan and during the free trial; there is no tier that unlocks it | A public API with a production and a sandbox environment on separate keys. An API key is created inside the ProviderTrust app by a user account that the implementation team provisions, and is exchanged for a token valid for 12 hours. |
| Rate limit | 200 requests per 10 seconds for each API key on standard lookups and 1,000 requests a minute for each key on number type, HLR and MNP, and each account can make up to 1,000 requests a minute in total across all its keys; higher limits are available on request | The documentation asks clients to 'limit calls to 10 PT API requests per second w/ burst 20 requests'; the same page describes the burst as '20 req/minute'. |
| Uptime SLA | Not listed | The certifications page prints '99.5% guaranteed uptime on AWS infrastructure'. The terms of that guarantee were not read. |
| Compliance | Not listed | HITRUST CSF Certified (r2 assessment), SOC 2 Type II compliance and NCQA Credentialing Certification, per its certifications page. |
| Support | Starter: Email Support; Growth: Priority Email & Chat Support; Professional: Chat + Live Meeting; Enterprise: Dedicated CSM | A support center, a phone number and a demo request form are linked from the home page, and accounts are set up by an implementation team. |

ProviderTrust

ProviderTrust pricing and product facts verified against providertrust.com as of October 2026. Prices change, so confirm on the vendor’s site. 1Lookup numbers come from the live rate card.
Who it is for
Pick 1Lookup or stay with ProviderTrust depending on the job in front of you.
Choose 1Lookup if
you want a self-serve price and an API key today, to check an NPI or a name against the OIG list and get a verdict with the list date in one request, without booking a demo.
Consider ProviderTrust instead if
you need continuous monitoring across a workforce or provider network, state Medicaid lists, SAM, the CMS Preclusion List and OFAC in one platform, or HITRUST and SOC 2 Type II reports: ProviderTrust sells that by quote, and 1Lookup checks the OIG list only.
Questions
People ask these questions before they switch from ProviderTrust.
What is ProviderTrust used for?
Screening and monitoring healthcare workforces and provider networks. Its monitoring page says it 'keeps watch continuously, so your team catches new exclusions, sanctions, and disciplinary actions as they occur'. The sources it names include the HHS-OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, state Medicaid exclusion and sanction lists, the CMS Preclusion List, the NPPES NPI Registry, the Medicare Opt-Out list, OFAC's lists and the Social Security Death Master File.
How does ProviderTrust pricing work?
By quote. The pages read print no plan, price or free tier, and the product pages end in 'Book a Demo'. The API documentation says user accounts 'are provisioned by your ProviderTrust implementation team', and that sandbox access can be granted for development testing. Checked October 2026.
How much does 1Lookup charge for the same check?
3 credits per completed check, billed for every completed check, a clear one included. On the Starter plan ($99 a month for 20,000 credits) a check is about $0.015, which covers 6,666 checks a month and is $14.85 per 1,000. At the Enterprise end of the rate card it is about $0.006. ProviderTrust prints no price, so no figure can be set beside these.
Does ProviderTrust have an API?
Yes. Its documentation lists subjects, events, subscriptions and webhooks, an instant search by NPI, one-time verifications and credential checks, with a production and a sandbox environment. The instant search takes one NPI per request ('Exactly one NPI is allowed per request'), the docs ask clients to limit calls to 10 requests per second, and the API key is created inside the ProviderTrust app by an account that its implementation team provisions, then exchanged for a token valid for 12 hours. 1Lookup's key comes from a self-serve account and one call checks an NPI, a name, a business name, or an NPI and a name together.
Where does ProviderTrust beat 1Lookup?
On scope, monitoring and assurance. It watches people and organizations continuously, covers state Medicaid lists, SAM.gov, the CMS Preclusion List, OFAC and more beside the OIG list, and its certifications page lists HITRUST CSF certification (r2), SOC 2 Type II compliance and NCQA credentialing certification. 1Lookup checks the OIG list only, does not monitor a roster and does not alert you when a new exclusion appears.
How current is each source?
Both read the OIG's list, which the OIG replaces every month, by the 10th. ProviderTrust describes continuous monitoring across its sources. 1Lookup puts the date of the OIG list in every answer, refreshes its copy through the month and is not billed when the list cannot be read. A repeat of the same check by the same user within 1 day comes from the cache at no charge.
Can 1Lookup replace ProviderTrust?
For a single question, whether a provider is on the OIG list right now, yes. For continuous monitoring, state Medicaid lists, credentialing or an audited platform, no. A 1Lookup check answers when you ask, and a CSV of your providers can be re-checked on whatever schedule you run it. 1Lookup checks the OIG list only; state Medicaid exclusion lists are separate.
What is the best ProviderTrust alternative?
If you need continuous monitoring across a workforce or provider network, more lists than the OIG's, or HITRUST and SOC 2 Type II reports, ProviderTrust is built for that and sells it by quote. If you want to check an NPI or a name against the OIG list from your own software today, on a printed price with a key you create yourself, 1Lookup's OIG Exclusion Check bills 3 credits per completed check on a balance that also pays for phone, email and IP checks.
Is ProviderTrust worth it in 2026?
For a health system, payer or staffing firm that needs ongoing monitoring and wants a vendor to run it, yes: it is a full platform with wide list coverage and certifications. Its API documentation says the product and API are 'still subject to significant and potentially breaking changes', and no price is printed, so you learn the cost on a demo. If the job is a screen at the point of hiring or onboarding, compare the per-check price of 1Lookup.
