Stop overpayments. Find beneficiaries. Stay compliant. Preserve reputation.

Problem: The Death Master File (DMF) now only identifies 16% of decedents. Since 2011, the Social Security Administration has dramatically decreased the amount of data available via the DMF due to identity theft concerns.

Solution: PBI’s CertiDeath® identifies 95% of decedents with 99.9% accuracy in 5 days reducing millions in overpayments and related reserves. PBI finds four to five times as many deaths as the DMF and 36% more than our closest competitors.

PBI can also help insurance companies:

  • Meet asymmetrical regulations.

  • Find missing beneficiaries quickly.

  • Reduce claims processing by 60%.

  • Fulfill new unclaimed property regulations.

  • Preserve reputation as a policyholder advocate.
