Verified Credentials Adds FACIS Sanctions Screening for Healthcare Employers
Hospitals risk federal fines when they skip ongoing OIG and GSA exclusion checks. Verified Credentials now automates that monitoring through a FACIS-powered partnership with Verisys.

Hospitals and health systems that run one-time background checks on new hires are missing the point. Regulators require ongoing monitoring of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and General Services Administration (GSA) exclusion lists, and a single miss can trigger federal penalties.
Verified Credentials, a Lakeville, Minn.-based screening provider, now offers that ongoing sanctions check through a new partnership with Verisys. The integration adds Fraud and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) Level 3 screening to the company's existing background check platform, which includes OIG, GSA and state Medicaid databases.
The service targets the specific compliance gap that general-purpose screening providers often leave open. Healthcare employers need to check hires at onboarding and then re-check them periodically. The Verified Credentials platform automates that second step, flagging new exclusions as they appear rather than waiting for the next annual audit.
