Since 2011, the Social Security Administration has dramatically decreased the amount of data available within the Death Master File (DMF). Today, the DMF identifies only 16% of deaths, making it an unreliable source for any insurance company, healthcare institution, pension, or third-party administrator. CertiDeath® fills that gap. Using proprietary algorithms, integrated databases and human expertise, we provide a true death audit solution with validated results.
