**Note: This service allows you to access data that is sensitive in nature. Our vendor, TransUnion, requires an on-site inspection of your practice to ensure your practice complies with their regulations. This is usually a 3-5 day process and is performed by a third-party agency hired by OrthoBanc. To avoid the inspection and speed up the approval of your account, TransUnion will allow us to waive inspection of the premises if the practice can provide a current utility bill read by a meter (gas or electric only). Otherwise, under TransUnion regulations, we must have a contracted inspector schedule a visit to your practice.
If in business for one (1) year or less, one of the following items must be received in addition to the requested documents above.
Choose one (1) and fax to OrthoBanc.
Copy of lease or proof of property ownership by business of the principal place of business
