Health Care Provider Background Check

You can use these reports to research your existing doctor. The Credential History Reports are valuable tools to verify the history, training and education of your health care provider. To begin the search on a doctor, all you need is the last name and state of practice. Once you submit your search, you will receive a list of doctors that match your search criteria. This list includes name and address. This service is free.

In addition, you may select a doctor from the list and purchase a Credential History Report. This report may contain (if available) license related actions and items (all 50 states) including disciplinary actions, sanctions, consent orders, consent agreements, dismissals, non-disciplinary communications, advisory letters, and other info. This service is $9.95.
