FACIS healthcare sanctions screening.
FACIS is a commercial aggregation of federal healthcare exclusion sources plus state exclusion, debarment, and disciplinary data, sold in levels from federal-only to federal-plus-state. 3rd Degree sells FACIS as a line item; other network CRAs sell equivalent stacks under house names like MedCheck.
Also called Fraud Abuse Control Information System, FACIS Level 1, FACIS Level 3.

What it covers
Federal exclusion and debarment sources in the ordered level (OIG, SAM, others by level)- State exclusion, debarment, and licensing disciplinary actions at the levels that include them
- A documented way to show you searched more than LEIE
OIG and SAM will not show a state Medicaid exclusion or a board action that never became a federal exclusion; FACIS exists to close that gap. It is still a list product — not a criminal search, not NPDB, and not a license verification.
What it covers
- Federal exclusion and debarment sources in the ordered level (OIG, SAM, others by level)
- State exclusion, debarment, and licensing disciplinary actions at the levels that include them
- A documented way to show you searched more than LEIE
What it doesn’t cover
Replace NPDB for malpractice and privilege actions- Replace primary-source license verification when a credentialing standard requires the board itself
- Make monthly monitoring optional. Aggregations go stale too
Where the data comes from.
FACIS (or equivalent partner aggregation)
Leveled products — confirm federal-only versus federal-plus-state, and we will map your policy to a current SKU.
Why identity comes first.
FACIS is wider, so it false-matches wider. vID’s identifiers keep a Level-3 search from becoming a review backlog.
How the network fulfills it.
Not every CRA is a FACIS shop; the network includes ones that are and ones that sell an equivalent house aggregation. We will not rename a three-list bundle “FACIS.”
This is the wrong search if…
You only needed OIG and you know it
Then buy OIG. FACIS is for policies that outgrew a single federal list.
You needed NPDB
Different database, different rules, different product.
Commonly ordered with.
- OIG LEIE exclusion screening
The federal list many contracts cite, even when FACIS includes it.
- Professional license verification
Board status as of today, not only a historical disciplinary flag.
- NPDB query
Malpractice and privilege actions FACIS is not built to be.

Who orders this
Frequently asked questions.
If the policy names FACIS, buy FACIS.
If it names OIG and SAM and “state lists,” we can still get there. Identity-verified, leveled, monitored.
