ABMS is the standard. Here's how to verify any named Medical Director's credentials.
Step 1 — ABMS verification
Go to abms.org/board-certification. Enter the doctor's name. Verify board certification status (active, expired, never certified).
Step 2 — State license check
Each state has a medical license lookup. Verify active license in the doctor's claimed primary state.
Step 3 — NPI check
NPPES NPI registry at npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov confirms NPI number and basic credentials.
Example: NexLife
NexLife's pages name its medical director as Adam Kennah, M.D. and describe clinician review through NexLife Medical Group. We have not verified board certification for NexLife's clinicians; you can run the three steps above on any named medical director yourself.
