Address Lookup - Clean Data / Save Money
FLEX can link to an address lookup service to ensure that your patient records are accurate.

Addresses are verified against the Royal Mail postal address file.

Accurate data saves money by ensuring that mail is delivered to the correct address and will avoid the invalid address surcharges added when using 3rd party mailing services such as Docmail.
