Credentials should be verifiable.

Before committing to a provider, ask for the treating professional’s identity, license, specialty certification when relevant, and the exact facility where treatment will happen. Certification, licensing, and an individual clinician’s experience are separate questions.

A practical verification checklist

  • Verify professional registration through SEP.
  • Check relevant specialist certification through CONACEM.
  • Check current facility certification through CSG where applicable.
  • Ask about privileges, emergency resources, and complication plans.
