Verified Person's Healthcare Sanctions Search

The Healthcare Sanctions Search includes a FACIS (Fraud and Abuse Control Information Systems) Levels 1, 2 & 3 check, as well as a check in the following databases – OIG (Office of Inspector General), GSA (General Services Administration), EPLS (Excluded Parties List System – includes parties excluded from Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs), and Adult Abuse registries.

Included in Healthcare Sanctions Search:

OIG/GSA Checks

Office of Inspector General Checks compare candidates against the official List of Excluded Individuals/Entities, a summary of those excluded from participating in federally funded healthcare programs. Among the reasons for exclusion are convictions related to patient abuse, fraud, licensing board actions, and default on health education assistance loans. Verified Person’s General Services Administration Checks also reveal individuals barred from conducting business with the federal government.

FACIS Checks

The Fraud and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) Check aids companies in identifying sanctioned individuals and entities in the healthcare field. VERIFIED PERSON offers Level 1, 2 and 3 checks.

Level 1 conducts a search of the sanction information as taken by the OIG, the GSA and other federal agencies. The information reported in this level meets the government's minimum requirements for sanction screening as set forth in the OIG's Compliance Program Guidance.

Level 2 combines the Level 1 search of the federal agencies with disciplinary action information from multiple agencies and one state of choice.

Level 3 is the most robust search option, allowing you to conduct a search of disciplinary actions taken by federal agencies as well as those taken by licensing and certification agencies in all 50 states. This is the most comprehensive search method available.
