Checked Facts

We gather the facts from many official sources into one place so your search is easier.

We publish directories built from public records. Every fact on them shows where it came from and the day we checked it.

Checked means compared against the primary record, on a date we show you.

  • State license record
  • Federal registry
  • Program list
  • Provider's website

Four kinds of official record go into one page. Each fact is compared with its record, then shown with its source and the date.

What "checked" means

Checked means we compared the fact against the primary record, and we show you the date we did it.

  1. 01

    Find the primary record

    The official source a fact comes from: a state license register, a federal registry, a program's own list.

  2. 02

    Compare it, fact by fact

    What we show must match the record. If we cannot match a fact to a source, it stays off the page.

  3. 03

    Show the source and the date

    Each fact links to its record and says when we last checked it, so you can see how fresh it is.
