GCheck Introduces FACIS Level 3 Healthcare Background Verification

In July 2026, GCheck unveiled that it has started providing the healthcare data services developed by Verisys, which is the healthcare data authority for FACIS (Fraud Abuse Control Information System). This helps GCheck to provide healthcare background verification and OIG exclusion screening to its workforce across the U.S. GCheck is a next-generation hire-to-retire screening platform.

These solutions provide hospitals, health systems, staffing agencies, and healthcare employers access to the industry’s most reliable sanction and exclusion dataset through GCheck’s screening platform, which is compliant with FCRA. It integrates Verisys’s healthcare information base with GCheck’s comprehensive compliance workflow.

FACIS is the benchmark for the database of sanctions, exclusions, debarments, and disciplinary actions in the medical sector. It is driven by Verisys and has over 3,500 primary sources that cover all types of providers in 50 states, such as:

• The OIG List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE)
• The GSA System for Award Management (SAM)
• State Medicaid exclusion and debarment lists in every state
• State licensing board disciplinary actions
• FDA, DEA, and TRICARE sanction records

FACIS Level 3 is the most extensive screening tier, which checks much more than just basic federal requirements as it looks out for historic and state-level disciplinary actions to prevent such people from crossing state borders undetected. Healthcare background checks are mandated by regulations, but regular employee recruitment does not have any such regulations.

The OIG Guidance requires employers that bill Medicare and Medicaid to screen employees, contractors, and vendors against federal and state exclusion lists during hiring and tenure as well. If an organization employs an excluded individual, it exposes them to civil monetary penalties under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law. 

GCheck facilitates healthcare employers to perform the following checks:

• FACIS sanction and exclusion screening: OIG LEIE, GSA SAM, state Medicaid exclusions, licensing board actions, and federal agency sanctions.
• Primary-source license verification: It enables validation of clinical licenses and certifications with issuing boards, including status, expiration, and disciplinary history.
• Occupational health, drug testing, and employment verification: 5- to 10-panel pre-employment and random drug screening, clinical titer testing, and immunization compliance tracking (MMR, Hep B, TB).

Impact on the Healthcare Industry

According to Precedence Research, the launch of the FACIS Level 3 Healthcare background verification is expected to positively impact the healthcare industry due to the fact that it provides a method for healthcare employers to perform exhaustive background checks of individuals before hiring them. This is a very important step because medical professionals have to work in a stressful environment and maintain composure. They cannot afford to panic or get angry during critical surgeries and tests on the patients.

Impact on the Healthcare Staffing Market

The global healthcare staffing market size was worth around USD 44.97 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach around USD 87.61 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.90% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the healthcare staffing market is expected to benefit from the introduction of the FACIS Level 3 Background Verification, as it helps healthcare employers to quickly do extensive background checks of individuals before hiring them. This launch comes at a time when the burden on healthcare institutions is increasing due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases among the people because of modern lifestyles. Medical employers will be able to accurately check for any non-compliant history that the individual has and keep their workplace safe for everyone.

Impact on the Healthcare Cloud Computing Market

The global healthcare cloud computing market size is valued at USD 63.9 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 75.17 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 312.97 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 17.22% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the launch of the FACIS Level 3 Background Verification is expected to positively impact the healthcare cloud computing market as the medical organizations that use this platform will need to store and process a lot of medical and historical data.

Most of the hospitals and surgical centers do not have in-house servers that can store and process data. They use cloud facilities to store the data. This also helps the healthcare facilities to easily scale their operations and stay up-to-date with the latest computing technologies. Medical institutions typically use private or hybrid cloud setups because they need to comply with stringent healthcare patient data regulations.
