What is FACIS and Why is it the Gold Standard

Maintaining compliance and safeguarding against fraud and abuse in today’s changing healthcare landscape can be challenging. organizations that receive any funds from Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or other federal programs cannot afford to employ individuals or entities excluded from even one program. Excluded from one means excluded from all, and the fines for non-compliance will likely be in the hundreds of thousands. How many data sources is your organization monitoring?

Our FACIS database of more than 10 million records makes it easy to maintain regulatory compliance by identifying red-flag behaviors and trends for any individual you employ from 5,000+ 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. Verisys has a relationship network with primary (original) data sources and internal back-end systems that automate the curation, extraction, and transformation of data across 400 million records on over 15 million healthcare professionals. Verisys partners with health plans, background check organizations, healthcare and pharmacies, and provider organizations to ensure they understand any risks within their population. How our clients use FACIS today:
