Identify Healthcare Sanctions Before Onboarding

FACIS BACKGROUND CHECK

FACIS (Fraud and Abuse Control Information System) background checks identify healthcare sanctions, exclusions, and enforcement actions that determine eligibility for participation in federally funded healthcare programs. FACIS screening is purpose built for healthcare compliance and goes beyond basic exclusion checks by consolidating federal, state Medicaid, and licensing board actions into defined screening levels. FACIS Level 3 is the most commonly required standard and is widely relied on by healthcare organizations to support defensible eligibility decisions.

WHY IT’S BETTER

Healthcare Eligibility Screening Built for Compliance

FACIS screening focuses on sanctions and exclusions that directly impact healthcare program eligibility. It identifies regulatory and licensing actions that traditional criminal background checks do not address.

FACIS Level Based Coverage

FACIS screening is structured into multiple levels of coverage. Level 1 includes core federal exclusions. Level 2 expands into select state sources. Level 3 provides comprehensive federal exclusions, all state Medicaid exclusions, and healthcare licensing board actions.

Level 3 as the Healthcare Standard

FACIS Level 3 is considered the standard for healthcare screening. It delivers the depth and breadth of sanctions coverage most commonly required by healthcare providers, payers, and regulated vendors.

Reduced Compliance Blind Spots

By consolidating healthcare sanctions across multiple authorities, FACIS helps organizations identify eligibility risks earlier and reduce exposure to regulatory penalties.

Built for Regulated Healthcare Roles

FACIS screening supports eligibility decisions for providers, vendors, contractors, and entities involved in regulated healthcare programs.
