FACIS® Data Supersource
FACIS® is a database of 10 million records from 5,000 primary sources on provider exclusions, sanctions, and adverse events. Thousands of organizations rely on FACIS® to keep their customers safe. When it comes to keeping customers and patients safe, you need the gold standard.
How Organizations Harness the Power of FACIS
Verisys FACIS (Fraud Abuse Control Information System) delivers 360-degree transparency on providers, staff, and entities for the organizations who hire, credential, refer, and reimburse for healthcare delivery such as retail pharmacies, telemedicine, staffing companies, health systems, payers, and pharmaceutical companies.
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. By contrast, other credentials verification organizations (CVO) limit their searches by license type or to one or a few states. With FACIS you get current and historical records nationwide for individuals and entities.
Verisys’ FACIS database of 500 million records identifies current and historical exclusions, debarments, sanctions, disciplinary actions, and adverse behaviors derived from more than 5,600 primary sources. Most healthcare delivery organizations screen and monitor providers against the OIG’s List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE); that’s only one of FACIS’ primary sources.
Using FACIS makes it easy to maintain regulatory compliance by identifying red-flag behaviors and trends for any individual you employ. With FACIS, organizations of any size can discover their true potential.

When it comes to keeping customers and patients safe, you need the gold standard.
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.
The best way to ensure all practitioner licenses remain in good standing is through continuous healthcare license monitoring.
