in our obituary database
with 99.9% accuracy
with countless time saved
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.

Without CertiDeath, you’re missing deaths.
Proven Performance. Unmatched Reliability.
CertiDeath is the fastest and most accurate death audit solution in the market – identifying 96.5% of decedents with 99.9% accuracy. Others only provide 70% and you still must validate. CertiDeath allows you to get it right the first time.
