Verified Not PE
Verified Not PE
A badge for practices that certify they are clinician-owned, with no private-equity money anywhere in their ownership.
What the badge means
Verified Not PE means clinician-owned:
- No PE money anywhere in the ownership chain: the practice, its management company or any parent.
- No management contract with a PE-backed or corporate-owned company.
- Not lender-owned, corporate-owned or health-system-owned.
Only practices that certify their ownership get it. Until a practice certifies, the most we say is “no known PE ties”, which means we found none, not that we proved there are none.
Who qualifies
Solo practices and groups owned by their own dentists, doctors or vets, including clinician-owned co-ops, with no outside investor. A practice that is PE-backed, lender-controlled, corporate-owned or part of a health system doesn’t qualify, and a minority PE stake counts as PE-backed.
How it works
- You send us your ownership details: who owns the practice and any management company you work with.
- We check them against our records (group location lists, NPI registry records and public filings).
- Your page shows the badge with confidence “certified”, and you can display it yourself.
