TransUnion is a global provider of consumer information and decision-processing services.  Securely maintaining one of the largest databases of consumer credit information in the world, TransUnion provides leading businesses with a comprehensive selection of business intelligence products that help manage financial risk as well as identify new markets and customers. 

With vast experience in providing accurate and reliable credit information to the healthcare industry, TransUnion knows the top priority of healthcare providers is providing quality patient care.  The healthcare industry as a whole shares the same problems: duplicate medical records, returned mail, chronic delinquency, defaulted payments and out-right fraud.  Can you rely on your current system to verify your patients’ demographic information?  Just as important, can your system help you evaluate whether patients can pay their bills in a timely manner?  If not, your current process maybe highly ineffective and will ultimately be very costly.

But there is another way, thanks to the extensive tools TransUnion offers to the healthcare industry.  With a comprehensive suite of identity validation and financial risk management products and services, we can help you make better business decisions.  Our goal is to provide you with the necessary decisioning tools to manage receivables, increase profits and ultimately, provide better patient care.
