Verisys
National CVO for provider verification, screening, and monitoring
- Founded
- 1992
- HQ
- Louisville, KY
- Stage
- Private equity backed
- Raised
- n/a
What it does

- FACIS sanctions and exclusions screening database
- Continuous license and OIG exclusion monitoring
- Full outsourced CVO services at national scale
- Provider identity verification with ID.me for Medicaid
- Payer enrollment and network compliance support

- Long compliance track record with NCQA-oriented processes and ISO certification.
What buyers should weigh
- A 30-year-old services-heavy company, not a modern self-serve software product.
- Multiple acquisitions and rebrands (Aperture, Med Advantage) can mean uneven tooling across product lines.
- Pricing and contracts are enterprise-style and opaque; small groups may find lighter options cheaper.
