Patient Identity Verification

A Trusted Way to Validate and Correct Patient Demographic Information

More than 25% of patient records contain demographic errors. Not surprisingly, these errors can cause a dramatic rise in return mail, fraud rates, denied insurance claims and aging accounts receivable for self-pay patients. Experian Healthcare Patient Identity Verification helps healthcare organizations overcome these challenges and accelerate payment by delivering an efficient means for validating and correcting demographic data during pre-registration and check-in.

Easily Identify Every Patient

Patient Identity Verification uses the industry’s most expansive and trustworthy data sources to give patient access staff the latest demographic information, including:

Name
Address
Social Security Number (SSN)
Date of Birth (DOB)
Phone

All returned information meets United States Postal Service® standards and uses appropriate formatting so provider organizations can ensure the proper delivery of patient statements and insurance claims. Validating the identity of every patient prior to treatment also significantly reduces the financial risks associated with medical fraud, return mail and lost invoices.

Increase Productivity

By integrating with the industry’s leading information systems, Patient Identity Verification eliminates the need for manual updates, expedites the registration process and improves data accuracy across the enterprise.

Prevent Downstream Errors

If patient demographics are not entered correctly at the outset of the revenue cycle, inaccurate information trickles down throughout the rest of the organization. With this service in place, healthcare organizations can avoid claim rejections and patient write-offs with reliable demographic validation.
