Identity verification

Verify the patient before the order, without slowing down most checkouts.

Connect checks patient identity before payment and medication ordering. Most patients verify quietly from the information already entered. If more proof is needed, Vouched can request an ID and selfie inside the checkout flow.

Vouched, our identity verification partner
Vouched is DrWell's identity verification partner for the patient verification workflow inside Connect. The check runs on a verification domain provisioned for DrWell, so it happens inside your patient's checkout rather than on a website they have never heard of.
Why this matters

Why identity verification belongs before payment and ordering

Confirming identity helps your practice know who is completing the purchase while adding another safeguard before medication ordering and payment.

01
Know who the order belongs to

Verification creates a stronger identity record than relying only on information typed into a form.

02
Add a check before payment

Identity clears before the card is charged, adding another step between submitted payment information and a completed purchase.

03
Verify identity data

Name, date of birth, address and phone can be checked against independent records rather than accepted only as self-reported information.

04
Keep verification in the transaction flow

Identity verification happens before payment and ordering instead of after a problem appears.

How it works

Three verification paths. Most patients only see checkout.

Verification runs before the card is charged. Most patients clear from the information already entered. If that does not clear, Vouched can request an ID and selfie. If verification still fails, the purchase pauses for an authorized user to review.

Cleared quietly. Most patients continue checkout with no upload, selfie or extra verification screen.
More proof needed. The patient photographs a government ID and takes a selfie for verification.
Human review. The purchase moves to pending so a permitted user can review it instead of automatically ending the checkout.
The quiet path

The best verification experience is the one most patients barely notice. Connect runs the initial check using information already provided at checkout. No upload, no selfie, no extra screen to explain.

What the patient experiences
Completes normal checkout information
Agrees to identity verification
Usually clears in the background
Provides ID and selfie only when needed
Is charged after verification clears or an authorized review approves

Verified patients remain verified for up to one year, or until the ID used expires. Repeat purchases inside that window do not repeat the full verification process.

The process

Identity verification that stays out of the way until it is needed

Order review, then a background identity check, then ID and selfie only if needed, and the card charged after verification.

01
The patient reviews the order

Name, date of birth, address, phone and card are already entered. On the review screen the patient agrees to have their identity verified before the purchase is completed.

02
The background check runs

Vouched checks the information the patient already provided against independent records. Nothing is uploaded and no new screen appears. This is where most purchases end, approved and charged.

03
ID and selfie, only when needed

If the background check does not clear, the patient photographs a government ID and takes a selfie. Vouched checks the document and compares the selfie with the photo on it.

04
The card is charged last

The card is captured at checkout and charged after identity clears, or after an authorized user approves a pending verification. A patient who never clears is never billed.

The check runs before the order is placed, not after it ships. Nothing is ordered from a pharmacy against a patient who has not cleared.

What gets checked

What Vouched checks when verification is needed

Two levels of checking. Most patients only ever meet the first.

01
Patient details

Name, date of birth, address and phone are checked against independent records. When those sources agree, the patient clears quietly and checkout keeps moving.

02
ID document

When required, the document is checked for characteristics such as formatting and expiration.

03
Person

The selfie is compared with the photo on the submitted ID. This is the step that stops someone using a real credential that does not belong to them.

04
Prior verification

Connect checks whether the patient is already within the verification window, so repeat buyers are not put through it again on every refill.

Framing the ID
When a check fails

If verification needs a person, the purchase waits instead of disappearing

Identity software gets it wrong sometimes. A worn license, bad lighting, a married name that does not match the one on file. If automated verification does not clear, Connect moves the purchase to pending so a permitted user can review the submitted information and decide whether to approve it.

Trust and privacy

Keep sensitive identity documents with the verification specialist

Vouched handles the identity-verification workflow and holds the submitted ID and selfie. Your staff can review them in place when needed instead of emailing or filing copies in your own systems.

01
The check happens on our domain

Vouched runs the verification on a domain provisioned for DrWell, so your patient stays inside a DrWell experience instead of being handed to a website they have never heard of.

02
Documents stay with the specialist

The ID image and selfie are held by Vouched, the company built to hold them. Your staff reviews them in place rather than emailing copies around or filing them in your own systems.

03
A dedicated partner, not a checkbox

DrWell uses Vouched as its dedicated identity verification partner rather than a homegrown document-checking workflow. Vouched verifies identity for regulated healthcare and financial services companies.

04
Every approval has a name on it

When someone on your team clears a patient by hand, the record shows who did it, along with the date, time and IP address.

Logged decision

Identity verification supports your program's diligence. It does not replace clinical judgment or your state's prescribing requirements.

Worth being clear about

Verify who the patient is. Your provider still decides whether treatment is appropriate.

Identity verification confirms the person completing checkout. Clinical eligibility, prescribing decisions and applicable state requirements remain with the provider and the practice.

Questions we get

The questions providers ask about identity verification

Does every patient have to scan an ID?

No. Most patients verify quietly using information already entered at checkout. ID and selfie verification appears only when the initial check does not clear.

When is the card charged?

After identity clears, or after an authorized user approves a pending verification. A patient who never clears is never billed, so there is nothing to refund.

What happens if verification fails?

The purchase moves to pending and a permitted user can review it. Your team is notified with a link to the patient's treatment plan, and nothing is charged until approval.

Can the patient keep retrying?

The ID and selfie step is a single attempt. A failure routes the purchase to human review instead of letting someone retry until something finally passes.

Who is Vouched?

Vouched is DrWell's identity verification partner and runs the verification workflow used inside Connect, on a verification domain provisioned for DrWell. Vouched verifies identity for regulated healthcare and financial services companies.

How often is a patient verified?

Once per year, or sooner if the ID used expires. Repeat purchases within that window do not repeat verification.

Who can approve a failed verification?

Only users given manual-verification permission. The approval is logged with the user, date, time and IP address on the patient's audit log.
