Identity resolution sounds like a technical term, but for Medicare agents it’s simply the process of accurately matching a potential beneficiary’s information across multiple sources so that outreach, eligibility checks, and marketing are correct.
In plain language, it is the ability to know exactly who you are speaking to and whether they are a real, qualified prospect for Medicare products.
For Medicare agents, getting this right helps prevent wasted effort and builds trust with each contact.
It also plays an important role in compliance, because the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have strict guidelines around how agents may communicate with beneficiaries.
Our platform at Medicare Marketing 24/7 is designed to help you keep your outreach accurate, efficient, and compliant.
How Medicare Agents Use Identity Resolution as a Marketing Tool
Agents are authorized to use a variety of tools to confirm information about beneficiaries, but identity resolution helps you do it more efficiently and with fewer mistakes.
Whether you are working with Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D, being able to check the beneficiary’s eligibility file quickly and match that data to your records means you are not chasing the wrong leads.
This process is more than just confirming names—it includes checking contact information, policy status, and eligibility so that every lead you work with is valid.
Our platform features give agents a streamlined way to integrate identity resolution into their daily marketing, helping you keep your pipeline full of real opportunities.
The Role of Reason Codes in Medicare Identity Resolution
Reason codes are an important part of resolving identity and eligibility issues.
These codes explain why a beneficiary’s information may not match what is on file.
For example, a reason code could show that a Medicare Part plan has changed or that certain details in the fiscal intermediary standard system need to be updated.
By paying attention to reason codes, agents can resolve mismatches before contacting the beneficiary, which prevents confusion and improves the professionalism of every interaction.
We share Medicare Marketing Tips that guide agents in understanding how to use reason codes effectively, ensuring that your outreach stays compliant and accurate.
Using Identity Resolution to Improve Medicare Advantage Lead Generation
Identity resolution directly impacts Medicare Advantage marketing by improving the quality of leads.
When you have the ability to check Medicare beneficiary eligibility information before outreach, you reduce the risk of working unqualified or outdated contacts.
For example, checking the beneficiary’s eligibility file to review established home health episodes can reveal whether they are still eligible for certain plans.
This kind of data not only improves conversion rates but also protects your time and marketing budget.
The Lead Generation and Sales Funnel tools built into our platform allow you to integrate identity resolution into your workflow so that Medicare Advantage leads are matched, verified, and ready for contact.
Best Practices for Agents When Applying Identity Resolution
When applying identity resolution, there are best practices agents should follow.
Agents are authorized to use these techniques for legitimate Medicare marketing purposes and to abide by the terms set forth by CMS.
Here are a few key practices:
- Always check the beneficiary’s eligibility file to review established data before making contact.
- Use approved technology and systems available to providers to check Medicare beneficiary eligibility information.
- Maintain accurate contact information and review established home health episodes for any updates before outreach.
And here are some practices to avoid:
- Avoid making any commercial use of inaccurate or unverified data.
- Do not create modified or derivative work from CMS data that falls outside compliance.
- Do not share eligibility files with any third party not authorized under the Medicare program.
Our Content Marketing and Social Media tools give you compliant ways to use beneficiary data for outreach, keeping every campaign professional and within guidelines.
