Manual lookups vs. Eazelo

Verifying one provider by hand usually means three separate stops: the NPPES registry for identity and taxonomy, the right state board site for license status (finding the right board is its own research when the provider isn't a physician), and CMS data if you care about practice locations or affiliations. Then you screenshot or copy what you found, and the evidence lives in your downloads folder — undated, unsigned, and hard for anyone else to trust later.

A Eazelo check runs the same public sources in one pass: NPPES identity, the mapped official licensing source for that state and provider type, and CMS practice-location corroboration. Where registry and board records disagree, the result shows the discrepancy instead of quietly picking one.

Instead of loose screenshots you get a watermarked PDF with source URLs, timestamps, a SHA-256 checksum, and a verification code. A manager or compliance reviewer doesn't have to trust your downloads folder — they paste the code into the public report verifier and confirm the document matches the saved record. See the full anatomy on the sample report page.

Eazelo is not a state licensing board, and a proof report is not an official license certificate or a credentialing determination. Some sources gate their data or need visual review, so some checks route to manual review rather than pretending. For final credentialing or employment decisions, confirm with the issuing board — the report gives you the exact source link to do it.
