Healthcare Sanction Checks
At 3rd Degree Screening, we understand that patient safety is of paramount importance for healthcare organizations. To ensure a safe environment and protect patients from potential harm, it is crucial to thoroughly verify the identity, credentials, and backgrounds of healthcare providers. Our Healthcare Sanction Searches play a pivotal role in this process, providing your organization with the necessary tools to identify individuals and entities excluded from federal and state healthcare programs.

FACIS Level 3 Background Check: Unparalleled Exclusion Screening and Verification
A FACIS Level 3 background check represents the gold standard in exclusion screening, verification, and monitoring. This comprehensive search encompasses the entire FACIS database, which comprises over 5,000 data sources, including historical and state data, millions of individual records, and continuous updates.
In contrast, a FACIS Level 1 background screening covers the minimum standards outlined in the Office of Inspector General Compliance Program Guidance. A FACIS Level 3 background check offers unmatched depth and scope, going beyond Level 1 searches. It includes over 75,000 records added monthly, as well as historical data dating back to 1992. Moreover, FACIS continuously monitors providers even after their initial screening.
