Veriff, Certific partner to work on identity verification for telehealth

Remote medical testing company Certific is partnering with identity verification company Veriff to streamline the identity verification process and reduce the risk of telehealth fraud.

Veriff can verify 10,200 different identity documents from more than 190 different countries and over 45 different languages. The partnership aims to fight medical identity theft; cases of medical identity theft rose from 6,800 in 2017 to 43,000 in 2021, according to a Sept. 6 Veriff news release.

"The COVID-19 crisis forced companies to go digital overnight to remain competitive. As a result, the demand for secure, remote identity verification has continued to grow globally across industries, including health services," said Kaarel Kotkas, founder and CEO of Veriff. "Veriff's solution, combined with Certific's remote medical testing platform, enables users to more securely and effectively access their personal medical records and telehealth services through advanced biometric identity verification technology, helping to significantly reduce security risk in digital health processes."
