How we verify providers

PsyAccess lists only providers we can trace to an official source. Every record shows which registry it was checked against, a link to that source, and when it was last verified.

Powered by PsyStandard. Verification is operated by the PsyStandard team using the same registry-matching workflow developed for provider quality benchmarking.

Sources of truth, by country

We never rely on a provider's own website alone. The primary source is always a national registry or payer list:

Poland

NFZ drug-program list (program B.147, esketamine) + RPWDL healthcare-entity register

Confirms a center is contracted to deliver the reimbursed esketamine program and is a registered healthcare entity.

Switzerland

BAG/FOPH Spezialitätenliste (SL) + FOPH limited-medical-use authorizations

Confirms reimbursement listing and, for psychedelic-assisted therapy, that the treating physician holds a federal exemption.

Netherlands

ENC-NL (esketamine treatment-center criteria) + BIG register for practitioners

Confirms a center meets the national esketamine-center criteria and its clinicians are licensed.

United Kingdom

CQC (Care Quality Commission) provider register

Confirms a clinic is CQC-registered for the regulated activities it advertises.

Germany

Regional Ärztekammer / KV listings and institutional registers

Confirms physician licensing and institutional standing for private-market clinics.

Other countries

National healthcare-entity registers and hospital program pages

Where no treatment-specific list exists, we verify the operating license and cite the primary source on the record.

Verification statuses

Update cadence

  1. Registry-verified records are re-checked at least every 90 days.
  2. Designated-center countries (e.g. Poland, Netherlands) are re-checked whenever the national payer publishes an updated center list.
  3. Price, waiting-time and reimbursement notes carry their own "last verified" date and are refreshed on contact with the provider or when a public source changes.
  4. Corrections reported by providers or patients are reviewed within 5 working days — see the contact page for how to report one or claim your listing.

Frequently asked questions

What does “Registry-verified” mean?

A human reviewer matched the provider to an entry in the relevant national registry (e.g. NFZ program B.147 list in Poland, BAG Spezialitätenliste context in Switzerland, ENC criteria in the Netherlands, CQC register in the UK) and recorded the registry entry and source link on the provider page, together with the verification date.

What does “Pending re-verification” mean?

The record passed verification previously but its scheduled re-check is due. Details may have changed since the “last verified” date shown on the record.

What does “Unverified listing” mean?

The provider has been identified but not yet matched to a registry entry. We show these records transparently so you know they exist, but you should treat every detail as provisional and confirm directly with the provider.

How often are records re-checked?

Registry-verified records are re-checked at least every 90 days. Records in designated-center countries are additionally re-checked whenever the national payer publishes an updated center list. Price and waiting-time notes are refreshed opportunistically and always carry their own “last verified” date.

Do providers pay to be listed?

No. Listing is free and inclusion is determined solely by registry verification. If sponsored placements are ever introduced they will be clearly labelled as such.

Is this medical advice?

No. This directory is an informational self-assessment resource. Eligibility notes describe pre-screening criteria published by regulators and providers — the final eligibility check is always performed by the treating clinical team.
