Verisys helps health care organizations ensure compliance with regulations governing the credentialing of health care providers. In addition to being accredited by URAC, Verisys is a NCQA certified CVO for Ongoing Monitoring of Sanctions, and the verification and reporting of Licensure, DEA or CDS Certification, Medical Board Sanctions, and Medicare/Medicaid Sanctions.  Verisys' credentials verification solution has also earned the exclusive endorsement of the American Hospital Association (AHA).

"By choosing to seek URAC CVO accreditation, Verisys Corporation has displayed leadership through a commitment to quality and accountability," said Alan P. Spielman, URAC President and CEO.

URAC standards are developed by a committee of experts representing diverse interests in the health care community: providers, health care organizations, insurers, and the public interest.
