FACIS Sample Clauses

The FACIS clause refers to the use of the Fraud and Abuse Control Information System, a database used to screen individuals and entities for exclusions, sanctions, or disciplinary actions in the healthcare industry. In practice, this clause requires parties to verify that employees, contractors, or vendors are not listed in FACIS as being barred from participation in federal or state healthcare programs. By mandating such checks, the clause helps organizations avoid regulatory violations and ensures compliance with healthcare laws, thereby reducing the risk of penalties or loss of program eligibility.
