How listings work.
Where our information comes from, what a listing means, and what to check before choosing care.
From information to a useful starting point
A directory built to be understood.
02
Provider & community submissions
Providers can submit their practice for review. Community members can also suggest a provider for inclusion.
03
Updates over time
Submissions are reviewed by the team. Corrections and new information help keep listings up to date.
Two different things
Information source ≠ listing management.
Where information comes from and who can edit a listing tell you different things.
Where the details came from.
Information may come from public sources or a provider submission. “Provider-submitted” describes the source. It does not mean that the provider’s care has been verified.
Who can maintain the listing.
Ownership approval and management access are separate steps. After we review a representative’s authority, they must have active provider access to manage the listing. A Provider-managed label means an authorized representative has active management access. It is not clinical verification, certification, an endorsement or a quality rating.
What a listing means
Publicly affirming.
Not personally certified.
“Publicly affirming” means a provider has publicly indicated—through their website, directory listings or community presence—that their practice welcomes and serves LGBTQ+ patients.
LGBTQHealthcare is an informational directory, not a medical referral service. A listing is not an endorsement, certification, personal vetting or guarantee of a particular experience.
We have not personally visited, interviewed or verified every provider. Information reflects what was available when a listing was created or updated, and it can change.

Questions about listings
Submitting, correcting and managing.
Who can submit a provider?
Healthcare providers can submit their practice for review, and community members can suggest a provider. A community suggestion does not grant management access.
Submit a providerHow do I report inaccurate information?
Use the listing update form to request a correction to details such as a provider’s name, phone number, address or category. Requesting a correction does not require claiming the listing.
Request a listing updateCan providers manage their listing?
Yes. An authorized representative can request ownership review. Signing in or using a matching email address alone does not establish ownership. Management access follows the existing ownership approval and activation process.
Request ownership reviewI submitted a new listing. Do I need to claim it again?
No. An authorized original submitter can use the existing submission for ownership review without a separate Claim form or re-entering listing information. Follow the ownership instructions in your listing email: sign in using your submission email and reply to confirm your authority. The team reviews ownership before management access is available.
Provider sign inDoes Provider Managed mean the provider is endorsed?
No. It describes who manages the listing. It does not certify the provider’s services or replace your own assessment of care.
