# Corrections and removal

Last updated: 2026-10-15

This page is for doctors. If something we show about you is wrong, or you want details we read from your hospital's website removed, tell us and we will fix it.

## Where each fact comes from

- **Hospital-website details** (focus areas, languages, new-patient status, listed insurers, office phones): we can correct or remove these on request.
- **Federal records** are used as published. A change made at the source appears here after our next data release:
  - name, practice address and registered specialty in the NPI registry: update your [NPPES](https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/) record;
  - medical school, group and specialty in the CMS clinician file: update Medicare enrollment in [PECOS](https://pecos.cms.hhs.gov/); CMS lists which fields go where on its [Doctors and Clinicians data page](https://www.cms.gov/medicare/quality/physician-compare-initiative/about-data);
  - industry payments: review and dispute them with the reporting company in [Open Payments](https://www.cms.gov/openpayments);
  - Medicare 2024 patient, procedure and prescribing counts are what CMS published from claims and cannot be changed here.
- **Our own matching.** If we attached a record or a hospital page to the wrong doctor, that is our error and we fix it.

## How to ask

Email contact@findadoctor.si with:

- your NPI number;
- what is wrong, or what you want removed;
- where you saw it (the tool result or page link).

## How long it takes

We reply within 3 business days. Once we can confirm the request (we may check it against your hospital's own page or ask your office), we make the change within 14 days, or tell you why it needs longer. A removal stays in effect when we rebuild the data from new releases or new website reads. AI agents that already copied an answer may keep showing it until they search again.

**Patients:** we hold no patient records and cannot change medical records. For your own records, contact your doctor's office.
