SmartyKey® glowing inside a house representing address verification

Up until now, SmartyKey®, a persistent unique identifier for all 210+ million addresses in Smarty’s database, has only been available to customers who purchased US Master Address List or geocoding products. We’re happy to announce that, as of today, it's also available at no extra cost with US Address Verification. Yippee!

But … what is SmartyKey?

SmartyKey is the persistent, unique identifier of your dreams. It remains constant through address changes and is available for USPS and non-USPS addresses. 

It’s an incredible tool that improves data hygiene and management processes by providing a historical view of the same location over time. Alias locations will become more evident, and the deduplication process will be more straightforward because SmartyKey tracks changes to an address at any address over time. 

Enriching your addresses is snappier now. Datapoints such as roof type, square footage, tax jurisdiction, sale amount, lot size, and more are also bonuses within reach while using SmartyKey in your US address verification adventures. This tool is truly a game-changer in data management and enrichment.

It’s also an absolute must for any organization looking at data blending, as records are speedily matched with ease and accuracy. Say goodbye to address and reporting confusion. Say hello to SmartyKey.

Smarty customers avoid USPS rate limiting

TLDR: Smarty customers won’t feel a thing from the new USPS API restrictions because Smarty doesn’t depend on USPS’s real-time APIs to do address verification. We’ve always used our own, powerful, hyper-accurate data to back our tools and support client needs. While USPS is capping its address verification service at 60 requests per hour and retiring the legacy Web Tools API on January 25, Smarty keeps verifying addresses at full speed on our own infrastructure. We ingest USPS data updates monthly and run verification internally, so USPS API changes, rate limits, or even a temporary USPS outage don’t ripple into your workflows.

Welcome to part one of our new blog series on provider location data—an exploration into the messy, high-stakes world of healthcare compliance, address accuracy, and network adequacy. To kick things off, we sat down with Dave Medlock, founder of Maven One Health and a contributing thought leader, to discuss why clean provider data is essential for achieving peak regulatory compliance and meeting requirements with ease, thereby avoiding serious consequences if it isn’t done correctly. Here’s what he had to say about understanding CMS, state DOIs, continuous audits, rosters, data decay, messy inputs, and the future of address data itself.
