How to verify a dentist in Illinois

  1. 1. Confirm the NPI. Search the provider's name on the CMS NPPES registry to confirm their NPI, taxonomy, and practice address.
  2. 2. Check the state board. Use the Illinois Dept. of Financial & Professional Regulation license search to verify the license is active and view any disciplinary history.
  3. 3. Ask the office. Confirm the dentist personally treats patients at the location listed, and ask about specialty training if relevant.
  4. 4. Verify insurance and pricing. Get any treatment estimate in writing and confirm in-network status with your insurer, not just the office.
