Patient address verification for healthcare providers

Registration and scheduling personnel may mistakenly capture incomplete or inaccurate address information. While this information may not seem essential at the time of capture, address errors lead to statement delivery delays, inflated levels of bad debt, difficulties with bill collection, and unnecessary operational costs.

With Experian QAS' real-time patient address verification tool, registrars capture address information faster and more accurately. The software leverages the latest U.S. Postal Service® (USPS®) data and configures easily within all major registration or medical billing software applications. Registrars save time and the business office improves financial performance.
