MATCH IT Act: What Every Hospital Needs to Know About Patient Identity Management

Congress has reintroduced the bipartisan MATCH IT Act, legislation designed to tackle patient identity errors, duplicate records, and mismatched data in healthcare.

This Act will require hospitals nationwide to implement robust patient identity management strategies. The need is clear: patient misidentification costs hospitals millions annually through billing errors, denied claims, and even severe patient safety risks.

Hospitals should be proactive rather than reactive, ensuring compliance before this bill becomes law, likely by 2025.

Key Requirements of MATCH IT Act:

• Accurate patient identification practices.
• Comprehensive record linking systems.
• Reduced duplicate patient records.
