Nonproduction preview. Published healthcare and building listings were identified from public sources. Licenses, fees, insurance, telehealth coverage, and remediation relationships have not been independently confirmed.

Questions to ask before you hire

health.gov’s choosing-a-doctor tips start with practical questions: what the clinician does, whether they are accepting patients, and what you will pay. The same habit helps with building work. A course, a membership, or a website claim is not proof of competence.

A clinician

Compare location, in-person care, telehealth, insurance, new-patient status, and training notes. If a fact says “not published” or “not checked,” MoldList did not treat it as a yes. Personal experience with CIRS is optional and only shown when someone has publicly disclosed it. A missing disclosure says “Not publicly shared,” not “No.”

Find a doctor or clinician

An assessor or tester

Ask whether they visit the building, what the quote includes, whether they also remediate, and what written report you will get. ISEAI’s assessor guide discusses choosing an indoor environmental professional and keeping assessment separate from cleanup. MoldList does not label a company “verified independent” because a remediation field is blank.

Inspectors and assessors

A remediator

Ask for the scope in writing, how communication will work, and what completion paperwork is due. EPA and NIOSH both tie cleanup to moisture control. A sampling result after the work does not certify health safety.

Remediation
