Eliminate Risk with Sanction & License Verification and Monitoring

Verisys pharmacy compliance services help you stay compliant by verifying licenses, registrations, certifications, exclusion lists, Medicare enrollment, and more for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and interns. Ineffective prescriber and entity checks invite fraud schemes against health systems, entitlement programs, private payers, and patients while putting pharmacy professionals at risk of exclusion, fines, and penalties.

We maintain a real-time pharmacy compliance verification service that protects pharmacies from fines and penalties by actively gathering primary source data to look up the status and verify pharmacy licenses, pharmacy technician licenses, and pharmacy National Practitioner Identifier (NPI) numbers from licensing boards in all 56 U.S. states and jurisdictions.

Real-time verifications include:

Conduct workforce credentials verifications using primary sources through FACIS®
Monitor the status and expiration of each healthcare license.
Check staff for exclusions, sanctions, and adverse events.
Create risk mitigation strategies for procurement, supply chain, and vendors.
Prevent fraud by verifying the credentials of scientists, speakers, sales representatives, and research and clinical trial participants.

Now let’s take a look at Verisys license monitoring services. Consider how quickly a $10,000 fine per prescription filled would add up if you were not aware of an excluded provider on your staff?

Verisys will continuously monitor your pharmacy staff providing a level of security and protection against fraud schemes, ensuring continual compliance with changing regulations, and sparing you from having an excluded prescriber filling prescriptions.

FACIS: The Gold Standard in Sanction Monitoring

FACIS is the industry’s most comprehensive database consisting of primary content from federal and state sources for exclusions, sanctions, debarments, disciplinary actions, and adverse events against healthcare professionals and entities for all 868 taxonomies and all 56 U.S. states and jurisdictions. A database of over 10 million records from 3,500 primary sources on provider exclusions, sanctions, and adverse events, FACIS delivers 360-degree transparency on providers, staff, and entities for the organizations who hire, credential, refer, and reimburse for healthcare delivery.

Credentialing

Simple provider credential search or full end-to-end credentialing solution.

Verisys is the largest outsourced credentialing provider in the market today and the only player with the workflow expertise and in-house database (i.e., FACIS) to efficiently serve the end-to-end compliance needs of large healthcare clients. For three decades, Verisys has supported client components of network management to ensure regulatory compliance and enable payors to keep an up-to-date provider network for all types of credentialing. Verisys credentialing is the only NCQA and URAC accredited solution to maintain the industry’s highest data and compliance standards.

License & Data Verifications

Faster verifications to accelerate efficiency and reduce fraud and waste.

Provide a point-in-time verification of a professional license number, including status, issue and expiration date, primary source information, and any disciplinary action (current or historical). Searches aliases provided on each practitioner as part of the search criteria and verification process for provider data accuracy.

Screening

When it comes to keeping customers and patients safe, you need the gold standard.

FACIS is the industry’s most comprehensive database consisting of primary content from federal and state sources for exclusions, sanctions, debarments, disciplinary actions, and adverse events against healthcare professionals and entities for all 868 taxonomies and all 56 U.S. states and jurisdictions. A database of over 10 million records from over 3,500 primary sources on provider exclusions, sanctions, and adverse events, FACIS delivers 360-degree transparency on providers, staff, and entities for the organizations who hire, credential, refer, and reimburse for healthcare delivery.

True Monitoring

The best way to ensure all practitioner licenses remain in good standing is through continuous healthcare license monitoring.

Continuously monitoring your population adds a layer of security and makes ongoing compliance with regulations set by standard-setting bodies possible. To stay in compliance with federal and state regulations and to keep patients safe, it’s vital for hospitals and health systems to monitor the licenses of their practitioners for new information that may prevent a physician from practicing. If a practitioner’s license is invalid, suspended, or expired, or if restrictions are placed on a license, healthcare organizations must take steps to halt the treatment of patients until the practitioner gets his license back in good standing.

Why do retail pharmacies need ongoing license and sanction monitoring?

A pharmacist’s or pharmacy technician’s compliance status can change after hire or credentialing. A license may expire, renew, change status, or be newly issued. Sanctions, exclusions, registration changes, and disciplinary actions can also occur at any time. Ongoing monitoring gives pharmacy teams visibility into these changes as they are reported, helping them respond before staffing, patient safety, or audit readiness is affected.

What pharmacy credentials and compliance data does Verisys monitor?

Verisys monitors the individual or entity across multiple compliance data points rather than checking a single license in isolation. Depending on the organization’s needs, monitoring may include professional licenses, FACIS® sanctions and exclusions, DEA and controlled substance registrations, NPI records, Medicare enrollment, abuse registries, the SSA Death Master File, and other primary-source data.

Pharmacies can monitor pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, interns, prescribers, facilities, vendors, contractors, and other licensed or non-licensed workforce members.

How does Verisys help pharmacies meet regulatory and industry requirements?

Verisys combines primary-source verification with ongoing monitoring and alerts when a reportable status changes. This gives pharmacy compliance teams current information to support federal and state requirements, DSCSA-related compliance workflows, and applicable standards such as NCQA credentialing requirements.

Can Verisys integrate with our pharmacy's existing systems?

Yes. Verisys data can be delivered through an API, secure file transfer, batch files, or a web-based portal. Pharmacies can incorporate screening and monitoring into existing HR, credentialing, scheduling, prescriber file, and compliance processes without creating a separate manual workflow.

Verisys works with 15 of the nation’s largest retail pharmacy organizations and is built to support complex, high-volume pharmacy operations. Its data program includes more than 3,500 actively monitored primary sources, historical content from more than 5,600 sources, and coverage across all 56 U.S. jurisdictions.
