Healthcare use case
Verify patient emails so reminders and results reach real inboxes
A wrong email in a patient record means a missed appointment reminder, a results notification that never arrives, and a portal invite that bounces. Verifly checks the address at portal signup and across your patient list, flagging typos, disposable domains, and undeliverable addresses. Verifly verifies email deliverability only — it does not touch or store PHI.

Why failed patient communications start with a bad email
Patient emails are entered under pressure — at a busy front desk, on a paper form later keyed in, or by the patient on a phone screen. That is exactly where typos, transposed characters, and wrong domains creep in. When the address is wrong, every downstream message fails silently: the portal activation link, the appointment reminder, the pre-visit instructions, the notification that results are ready. Nobody notices until the patient no-shows or calls asking why they never heard anything.
Verifly catches the bad address at the moment it is entered. A real-time check returns deliverable, undeliverable, or risky, and flags disposable domains and role inboxes. Correcting a mistyped address at intake is trivial; discovering it after a missed appointment is expensive for both the clinic and the patient.
Deliverability, not PHI — how Verifly fits a care setting
It is worth being precise about scope: Verifly verifies whether an email address can receive mail. It does not read message contents, does not store protected health information, and is not a substitute for your HIPAA-compliant messaging platform. You send it an address; it tells you whether that address is real and safe to mail. That narrow job is exactly what protects the rest of your patient-communication stack, because a clean list keeps your reminder and recall mail landing instead of bouncing and dragging down your sender reputation.
For an existing panel, run your contact list through the async bulk endpoint before a recall, flu-shot, or results campaign so the messages that carry real clinical value actually arrive.

Frequently asked questions
Is Verifly HIPAA compliant or does it handle PHI?
Verifly verifies email deliverability only. It receives an email address and returns whether that address is real and mailable, plus flags like disposable or role. It does not read message contents, does not store protected health information, and is not a messaging platform. Use it as a data-quality layer alongside your HIPAA-compliant patient-communication system, not as a replacement for it.
How does verifying emails reduce patient no-shows?
A large share of no-shows come from reminders that never reach the patient because the email on file is mistyped or dead. Verifying the address at intake and cleaning your list before a reminder run means those messages actually land, which measurably improves show rates.
Can I verify an address the moment a patient signs up for the portal?
Yes. A single real-time GET /verify?email= call validates the address inline at signup, so a typo can be corrected before it is saved to the record and before the activation email bounces.
What about addresses entered by front-desk staff?
Front-desk-entered emails are a common source of typos. Running the same verification at the point of entry catches transposed characters and wrong domains immediately, keeping bad data out of the patient record.
Can I clean my existing patient contact list?
Yes. Submit the list to the async bulk endpoint, which handles up to 1,000,000 addresses per job, to remove undeliverable and risky addresses before a recall, results, or vaccination campaign.
How is Verifly priced for a clinic or health system?
Pricing is pay-as-you-go from $2 per 1,000 verifications down to $0.60 per 1,000 at the largest pack, and credits never expire — so an occasional list cleanup does not require a monthly subscription.
