Corrections
If a provider name, NPI, specialty, practice address, nursing-home rating, prescribing figure, or derived ranking on PlainDoctor looks wrong, report it with enough detail to reproduce the page and compare it with the CMS source record. The same process is documented in our editorial and corrections policy.
How to report
- Report. Email hello@plaindoctor.com or use the contact page with the page URL, the figure that looks off, and what you think it should be.
- Source. Include a link to the CMS NPI Registry, NPPES file, Five-Star nursing-home page, Open Payments record, or other official source you think we should match.
- Scope. Say whether the issue is a raw registry field, a derived ranking or density figure, or a stale vintage badge.
What happens next
We verify reports against the published CMS source and correct confirmed issues in the canonical database or pipeline so affected pages update together. Material fixes are noted on the public data changelog. PlainDoctor is an informational healthcare-data directory, not a medical advisor, rating service, or appointment booking tool.
When the figure is correct on our side but the upstream NPPES or CMS file is stale or self-reported, we will say so and point you to the official record. Providers who need to change their registered information must update it through the official CMS NPPES system; we mirror the public file and cannot rewrite a provider's government record on their behalf.
