USIS
Provides Solutions to New Compliance Program
New
supplemental guidelines have been issued regarding requirements
for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office
of the Inspector General (OIG) Sanction List and the GSA List
of Excluded Parties. The supplemental Compliance Program Compliance
(CPG) contains new compliance recommendations that requires
annual checks as well as “an expanded discussion of
risk areas, taking into account recent changes to hospital
payment systems and regulations…and lessons learned
in the area of corporate compliance” (Department of
Health and Human Services, Federal Register, Vol. 70, No 19).
This applies to employees, vendors and contractors.
USIS
is helping our healthcare customers meet these requirements
through our CTT import process whereby employee/vendor files
can be submitted for processing against the OIG and GSA data
bases that list sanctioned or excluded parties. Any
matches or clears are then reported back to the client
via our website and electronic submission. The client can
then document the searches that were completed in a timely
manner via USIS verification services..

The
Fraud Abuse and Control Information System (FACIS) report
from USIS also addresses this requirement and adds additional
screening value including a check of disciplined licenses
or certifications. Additionally, the information in FACIS
is historical and provides additional valuable background
information on healthcare providers. The search includes
information provided by federal agencies as well as more
than 800 licensing and certification agencies located in
all 50 states. FACIS provides information on more than 50
types of healthcare professionals, from physicians and midwives
to home health agencies and ambulatory services. For more

A Note from USIS' New CEO: Randy Dobbs
First,
let me thank you for your continued business support. For
you as our customers, we are committed to delivering to you
outstanding service, leading edge products and services, and
a focus on compliance, all areas that I believe differentiate
us from other pre-employment and drug screening providers.
However, beyond that differentiation is another key asset
which really makes us the best choice and that is our committed
employees!
Over
the first few months as CEO, I traveled across the nation
meeting with our employees and customers and have seen first
hand the commitment of this CSD team to our customer’s
needs and their CSD team. I also understand that your needs
as a customer are always changing. To ensure we continue our
leadership role, we will always evolve to address the future
demands for human resources and security professionals. We
look forward to unveiling new and improved services in the
coming months to meet your growing need for ensuring a safe
and secure workplace.
Finally,
as you may know, USIS provides services not only to corporate
human resources and security departments but also key federal
government agencies such as the Departments of Homeland Security,
State, and Defense, intelligence agencies, and the Office
of Personnel Management. We have worked hard to earn the trust
of our government and business partners and we understand
the value of that trust. We will always strive to improve
our customer relationships. You can trust our continuing commitment
to provide customer-driven services, superior customer service
and value that makes USIS an industry leader and provider
of choice in this industry.
