At Phoenix Health Compass, we believe every healthcare decision should be based on trusted, verifiable information.
That's why we clearly identify where our information comes from, when it was last verified, how often it is refreshed, and how you can verify it yourself.
Section 1
Choosing a healthcare provider is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. You deserve more than a page of search results.
Section 2
Phoenix Health Compass will never discourage you from reviewing original public records.
We believe informed patients make better healthcare decisions. That's why we make it easy to access trusted public sources — while helping you understand what those records mean, not just what they say.

Section 5
Every field on every profile carries one of these four honest states.
Verified
Matched to an authoritative public source and current as of the last verified date.
Checked — None Found
We queried the source and no record exists for this provider or facility.
Not Yet Queried
This source has not been checked yet. Queued for the next scheduled sync.
Not Applicable
This field does not apply to this subject type.
Section 6
Why dates matter
Public records change constantly. A last-verified date is your fastest signal for how fresh a fact is right now.
Why datasets refresh at different times
NPPES refreshes weekly, CMS quarterly, state boards on their own schedules. Our timestamps reflect each dataset's real cadence.
Why official sources occasionally update after us
Boards can post changes the same day. If a source is more recent, we always link to it directly so you can see the latest.
How refresh schedules work
Automated jobs run continuously against every source. Scheduled and on-demand refreshes keep the platform current.
Section 7
A few normal reasons a Phoenix profile and an official source may not match perfectly on a given day.
