Verisys introduced the Fraud Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) to meet this growing need in 1993.

FACIS (Fraud and Abuse Control Information System) is a proprietary database maintained by Verisys. It provides comprehensive data on disciplinary actions, sanctions, and exclusions in the healthcare industry. FACIS is utilized by healthcare organizations, credentialing agencies, and other entities to ensure compliance, mitigate risk, and verify the credentials of healthcare professionals. The database encompasses information from federal sources, state-level agencies, and various licensing and certification boards. By accessing FACIS, organizations can make informed decisions regarding the hiring and credentialing of healthcare professionals, ensuring patient safety and organizational integrity.
FACIS is designed for both one-time searches and ongoing monitoring to identify changes in a practitioner’s credentials. Verisys aims to innovate compliance by leveraging this data to meet specific healthcare use cases, such as eligibility screening, pre-hire screening, and ongoing monitoring.
