SECTION 01
Resolve identity before assessing claims
Record the clinician's full original-language and translated name where available, current facility, department or role and any professional identifier. Confirm that search results refer to the same person rather than another clinician with a similar name.
Ask who will actually examine and operate. A brand account, team portrait or consultant title may not identify the responsible clinician.
SECTION 02
Verify the facility separately
Obtain the full registered facility name and treatment address. Confirm whether consultation, surgery and inpatient observation occur at the same entity or different locations.
Use current primary or official sources where available, and ask the facility to confirm the proposed procedure, surgeon and anesthesia team. A shared marketing logo does not prove authorization.
- Match legal name, address and service location.
- Confirm after-hours and emergency arrangements.
- Record the date of each check.
SECTION 03
Match scope and privileges to the plan
A license does not mean that every clinician performs every procedure in every facility. Ask whether the professional's current scope and facility relationship cover the named operation and anesthesia setting.
For a combined procedure, verify each component and the responsibility of each professional. If the plan changes after examination, repeat the check for the revised scope.
SECTION 04
Document uncertainty and recheck
Save the source, date and wording of each confirmed fact. If a claim comes only from marketing, label it accordingly and request supporting evidence rather than presenting it as independently verified.
Recheck important time-sensitive information shortly before treatment. Submit possible factual errors through a correction route with evidence and avoid publishing private records or unsupported accusations.
