Berwyn boasts a comprehensive death database capturing data on 96.5% of deaths that occur in the U.S. annually, but our solutions go beyond just the data. CertiDeath further validates deaths within an identified population on an ongoing basis. CertiDeath identifies decedents with 99.9% accuracy by using a database containing records from over 40,000 sources and our team of experts validate the results.
Results from CertiDeath are delivered on a weekly basis, providing you with prompt notifications after an individual in your population passes away.
Accurate, timely, and comprehensive mortality data is critical to the healthcare industry for a variety of use cases:
Death audit accuracy applies to payers, hospitals and clinics, employer groups, healthcare vendor partners, state Medicaid offices, and various trade groups in the healthcare industry. All healthcare stakeholder groups should have the confidence that their business functions receive comprehensive and verified accurate death record data. Without the timely notification of a deceased beneficiary or physician, this can expose them to overpayments or even fraud, waste, and abuse from excess utilization. Lacking accurate and timely death data can lead to inefficient operations from eligibility data feeds, or even misleading conclusions from healthcare economics data analysis.
Prevent false positives with a validated death audit.
The healthcare industry should have zero tolerance for false positives that could lead to a beneficiary being denied their benefits to get the care they need. This is why selecting Berwyn’s CertiDeath solution provides a peace of mind with 99.9% accuracy.
In addition, Berwyn has a comprehensive set of locate solutions designed to help you have the most recent and accurate information on your population, and potential beneficiaries, and manage outreach to validate information, including handling returned mail.
