Fraud Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) is a search of the current and historical database of sanctions, exclusions, debarments, and disciplinary actions for all medical provider types at federal and state levels, including current sanction and disciplinary actions from the General Services Administration (GSA) and Office of Inspector General (OIG).

FACIS Level 1:
Meets the federal government’s minimum requirements as outlined in the OIG’s Compliance Program. Guidance includes the following: OIG, GSA, DEA, FDA, PHS, ORI, TRICARE, and OFAC-SDN data (federal only) and Medicare Opt-Out.

FACIS Level 3:
The gold standard of sanction and exclusionary searches, and includes all sources included and the sanctioning boards from all 56 U.S. jurisdictions across all provider types. This accesses more than 3,000 sources. Many of our clients feel that the best practice is to take a more assertive approach by monitoring employees through FACIS Level 3, because it protects them from the potential negative ramifications of employing individuals or vendors who are sanctioned by a state-level licensing board.
