- FACIS® (Fraud Abuse and Control Information System) is the only source of provider sanctions content derived from thousands of sources in an easy to use and read format
- A FACIS search looks for results or potential matches from all federal data sources (OIG (OIG database verification), SAM (including SDN), FDA, DEA, TRICARE, FBI, U.S. DOJ, U.S. Treasury Dept., U.S. State Dept.) and all state-level Federal Healthcare Entitlement Program (FHEP) sources (State Medicaid Exclusions, State Contractor Disqualification/Debarment Lists, HEAT Task Force News, State Attorney General News, Federal District – Attorney General News, Medicare/Medicaid Opt-Out Lists).
- FACIS® aggregates data from disciplinary boards (more than OIG and GSA) from all 50 states and the District of Columbia across all provider types (not just MDs and DOs)
- FACIS® is the largest and broadest coverage sanctions database in existence, with more historical data than any single data company, as we have been collecting data since 1992 with data dating back to the 1980s
- FACIS® is updated in near real-time, not merely once a month (or as some do only once a year) with more than 20,000 new records added over the course of an average month
- FACIS® data undergoes a rigid quality assurance process to ensure that our customers receive the complete unaltered primary source record
