What "ChiroMatch Screened" means.
The trust mark is a public commitment to a specific standard. Here's exactly what it verifies, how each check is performed, and how providers who earn it can display it.
The trust mark is a public commitment to a specific standard. Here's exactly what it verifies, how each check is performed, and how providers who earn it can display it.
To display the ChiroMatch Screened mark, a provider must meet all six criteria below. Each one is either systematically verified, manually reviewed by ChiroMatch staff, or self-attested under a signed agreement — clearly labeled so patients know which is which.
Active National Provider Identifier verified against the NPPES registry. Taxonomy must include chiropractic.
License number verified as active and in good standing with the state's chiropractic examining board, with no recent public disciplinary action.
Certificate of insurance on file with active dates covering the current credentialing period.
Provider formally attests to the modalities they actually perform in clinic, the technique schools they are trained in, and any advanced certifications (e.g. Activator Proficiency, Cox Certified, DACBSP).
Provider accepts that incoming ChiroMatch patients arrive pre-screened, respects the screening tool's flags (e.g. HVLA-contraindicated cases routed to Activator or decompression), and will not override safety routing for booking convenience.
Signed acknowledgment that the provider will refer out when appropriate — to physical therapy, medical specialists, or emergency care — and will not use the mark to retain patients better served elsewhere.
The three verification tiers on each criterion are there so patients can tell the difference between "a machine checked this" and "the provider told us this." Here's what each means.
Systematic — automated verification against a public registry (NPPES for NPI) or a platform-level signal (screening workflow opt-in). Checked at credentialing and continuously monitored.
Manually reviewed — a ChiroMatch staff member reads the document or license record and verifies against the issuing authority. Checked at credentialing and re-verified annually.
Self-attested — the provider signs an agreement stating the information is accurate. Subject to spot-audit and to patient-feedback review. Misrepresentation results in immediate removal of the mark.
The mark is not permanent. Every 12 months, providers re-submit license status, malpractice certificate, and modality attestation. Failure to re-attest removes the mark automatically. Any substantiated disciplinary action from a state board or documented pattern of safety-routing overrides removes the mark immediately.
If you have earned the mark, you are welcome and encouraged to display it on your practice website, your profile pages, and your patient-facing materials. Two variants are provided:
Copy and paste the snippet that fits where you're displaying the mark. The badge links back to this page so visitors can verify what the mark means.

Three rules, enforced:
Do not modify the badge. No color changes, no added text, no distortion, no cropping of the wordmark or the check seal. The badge identifies a specific standard — altered versions misrepresent the credential.
Do not display the badge if you are no longer screened. When a provider loses the mark — for non-renewal, discipline, or safety override — the badge must come down within 30 days. ChiroMatch reserves the right to publicly list providers whose mark has been revoked.
Do not claim credentials you do not hold. The badge attests to the six criteria on this page. It does not certify specialty credentials (Cox, Activator Methods, DACBSP, etc.) — those are separate claims verified in your profile.
This is version 1 of the mark. The criteria above are the verifiable floor — they intentionally avoid claims we cannot audit today. As the platform matures, we plan to add outcome-based criteria (patient-reported improvement data, transparent reassessment points, discharge-to-maintenance rate) so the mark reflects practice quality, not just credentialing. The version label in the badge is there so future upgrades remain distinguishable.
