Novostead Verification Standard

• Clinic name, website, and contact information are consistent across sources
• Address and/or telemedicine jurisdiction information is clearly stated
• The entity we list matches the entity providing services

• Practitioners and their credentials are listed (e.g., MD/DO/NP/PhD where applicable)
• The clinic explains who provides medical decision-making
• If credentials are unclear, we mark this explicitly

Note: We may verify public license records where feasible, but verification scope varies by jurisdiction. We do not provide medical credentialing.

• Itemized pricing or clear membership inclusions are available
• Common upsells are disclosed or easily discoverable
• "Call for pricing" with no line items is flagged as high-risk for wasted spend

• Patients can obtain their own raw results (PDF/CSV where applicable)
• The clinic states whether results can be shared with outside clinicians
• "We keep your data in our portal only" is flagged

• Clinic states what outcomes they measure (biomarkers, imaging, functional metrics)
• Measurement schedule is clear (baseline / follow-up cadence)
• Claims without measurement are flagged

• The clinic explains risks, contraindications, and uncertainties
• Informed consent is documented for invasive/experimental procedures
• "No side effects" marketing is flagged

• Marketing language matches the evidence level
• "Guaranteed results," "reversal," "cure," "FDA-approved for anti-aging" claims are flagged
• We prefer clinics that separate: what is standard of care, what is investigational

• The clinic discloses whether they profit from in-house supplements/tests
• If the clinic requires buying only their products, we flag it as a transparency risk

• Clear contact for questions and billing disputes
• Refund/cancellation policies are available when applicable
