Minimize overpayments and maximize the longevity of your fund.

Only CertiDeath identifies 96.5% of decedents with 99.9% accuracy. Other death matching services find 70% at best, which means CertiDeath finds at least 38% more deaths than our closest competitor. With the demise of the Death Master File (DMF), CertiDeath now finds six times as many deaths as the DMF. When it comes to mortality verification, no one comes close to CertiDeath.

The DMF finds 16%.

Your fund or annuity could be at risk.

CertiDeath often finds hundreds or thousands of missed deaths in customer population files. Missed deaths can lead to overpayments. As these hidden overpayments grow, they could threaten the longevity of your fund.

The proof is in the testing.

Competitors make claims they can’t back up. CertiDeath superiority can be proven with a free analysis of your data. A free CertiDeath Analysis usually finds hundreds or thousands of missed deaths in your population, which means you likely have tens of thousands of dollars of hidden overpayments and millions of dollars of unnecessary reserves.

How CertiDeath became the best death audit service.

In 2011, due to the rise in identity fraud, the Social Security Administration began limiting state death data in the DMF. The DMF has steadily declined every year. Today, the DMF reports just 16% of deaths.

After 2011, pension plans and insurance companies could no longer rely on the DMF to find most of their decedents, which meant they had to do the work themselves – spending countless hours combing through disparate obituary data and various media sources from around the country. Or they could turn to death audit providers for help. But even with the assistance of outside experts, the best they could hope for was finding 70% of deaths.

CertiDeath is determined to do better.

Millions of dollars have been invested into technology and the largest team of experts in the industry was assembled to bring customers a better outcome. It took years, but the result was the introduction of CertiDeath in 2019 – a game changer.

Using over 26,000 obituary databases and a team of specialists, CertiDeath identifies 96.5% of deaths with 99.9% accuracy. Since its introduction, CertiDeath has helped clients discover over $1 billion in overpayments and release billions more in reserves.

Find out how many deaths you’re missing.

CertiDeath competitors, many new to the industry, are making claims about how many deaths they find. Many death audit vendors advertise ‘validated’ results, but this term can be misleading. It’s crucial to differentiate between mere death data and a true mortality verification. Often, vendors present a bulk of potential matches, leaving you to sort through and verify each name. CertiDeath results are truly validated.

A free CertiDeath Analysis of your population will prove it to you. CertiDeath often finds hundreds of thousands of deaths your current death matching vendor missed. It will cost you nothing to find out how many deaths you are missing. Not knowing could cost you everything.
