Healthcare Screening Services – the FACIS Search

Screening healthcare workers for contracts sometimes requires more than just drug screening and criminal records searches.   Occasionally some facilities may require you to implement a healthcare sanctions search. This search including the OIG/GSA database, or the office of Inspector General and General Services Administrations sanctioned list and disciplinary actions for healthcare workers and others barred from working in the United States.  Some contracts may require you to search further and include the FACIS Search. 

FACIS stands for “Fraud and Abuse Control Information System” which provides information on sanctioned individuals working in the healthcare field.  There are three levels of Facis. Level 1 combines the databases of the OIG and GSA, Level 2 adds a list of federal disciplinary action information from multiple agencies, and level 3, includes additional disciplinary actions from licensing and certification agencies across the country.
