Provider verification checklist
- Exact provider or facility name and practice location.
- National Provider Identifier when available.
- Exact plan name, plan ID, coverage type, county, and plan year.
- Network tier and whether referrals or prior authorization apply.
- Carrier directory result plus direct provider-office confirmation when practical.
Prescription verification checklist
- Exact drug name, strength, form, frequency, and plan year where relevant.
- Formulary tier, deductible treatment, quantity limits, step therapy, and prior authorization.
- Preferred, standard, mail-order, and specialty pharmacy status.
- Estimated plan cost is not a pharmacy price guarantee.
- Recheck when the formulary, prescription, pharmacy, or plan changes.
Verification status should be explicit
Use one of four states: unverified, source located, carrier confirmed, or provider/pharmacy confirmed. Record the source, plan ID, plan year, location, access date, and any conflict. A directory result is evidence, not a guarantee that a specific claim will be paid.

Already enrolled? Use the post-enrollment review for ID cards, first premium, effective-date, or plan-use questions, or the current-client review for annual changes.
