PERFORMANCE
What are some common areas of increased efficiency:
- Priority filtering to help you zero in on critical matches first
- Resolving using DOB
- Resolving potential matches against databases directly within the Streamline Verify portal
- Screening using NPIs of providers, delivering instant positive matches
Will a potential match that was resolved as false ever return?
No. Verification of a potential match process is a one-time event. Once you flag a potential match as false, it will never return as a
potential match. However, if there is any change in the client’s record, it will then be treated as a new record and return. Similarly,
if the exclusion database puts in a new record that’s a potential match, it will also return.

performed in the application is recorded and saved and can then be added to any report needed for audits.
Clients who have undergone CMS audits have reported excellent results post-audit. Not only that, we’ve received positive feedback
from CMS auditors themselves, praising our program!

SECURITY
What security measures do you take to safeguard sensitive employee information?
Your security is of paramount concern to us. To that end, we employ a “security first” approach, reflected in our multi-level encryption, vulnerability scanning, secure coding reviews and penetration testing. All data and communication traveling between our clients and our servers is encrypted in transfer (TLS or SFTP).Additionally, every view of a SSN auto-generates an audit trail detailing who viewed what and when.
If, for security reasons, I don’t want to provide ssns, will your system still work?
Yes. Our system does not require SSNs for screening. However, when you provide SSNs, our system can significantly reduce your
workload and boost your efficiency by auto resolving matches.
