What we do and do not verify

  • We publish listing information exactly as sourced and label its verification status. We do not rate or evaluate clinical quality, outcomes, or staff competence.
  • We do not confirm insurance acceptance, bed availability, pricing, or admission decisions. Those are decided by the provider and your insurer.
  • If a listing is inaccurate or should not be published, contact us and we will review it. Providers can request updates, which are reviewed before publication.
