Aeromedical Compass is a neutral, confidential directory of provider rankings.
We place evaluators on transparent tiers based on verified, evidence-weighted practices — not personal stories.
Browse the rankings or submit a report to help improve fairness and consistency.
Please remove names, MRNs, addresses, and any PHI (personal health information) from uploads.
How Provider Rankings Work
We rank practices, not people. Scores blend documents, corroborated reports, and public records. Positive practices can offset points; verified concerns lower tiers.
Trusted, Preferred, Watch, and Under Review tiers
De-identified summaries only; no PHI is published
Providers receive notice and can publish a statement on their listing

We rate practices, not people. Our 36-month window focuses on recent, verifiable behavior.
Providers will be notified and given a right of reply before publication or any tier change.
We share the submitter’s practice description with the provider for reply, while protecting the submitter’s
name, contact details, and other identifying information.
Privacy & PHI
PHI (personal health information) includes names, MRNs, contact details, dates of birth, addresses, and any other data that can identify a patient. Remove PHI before upload. We may reject or delete submissions that contain PHI.
Evidence we accept (strongest → weakest)
Primary documents: redacted evaluation letters, monitoring recommendations, SI correspondence
Corroborated testimonies: two or more independent reports describing the same practice
Public records: court filings, consent orders, published policies, on-record remarks
Expert statements: named SMEs with disclosed conflicts
Scoring & Tiers
We compute a simple practice score from verified inputs. Positive practices can offset points; total never goes below zero unless there are verified concerns.
Preferred — score 0–4(default starting tier for new providers)
Watch — score −1 to −5
Under Review — score < −5
Right of Reply, Updates & Appeals
Shared information: In a Right of Reply notice, providers receive the submitter’s practice description exactly as written (with PHI redacted), along with the context, payment details, and date range provided in the submission.

submissions and records. Individual providers may be named to accurately identify the practices being evaluated; names are used for
context and transparency, not as personal judgments. Providers receive notice and a right-of-reply before first publication or tier updates.

approval, or partnership. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of submissions or ratings. Users should
exercise their own judgment before making decisions.

Right of Reply notices include the submitter’s practice description (shared verbatim, with PHI redacted),
together with any context, payment, and date-range details entered by the submitter. Providers may publish
a statement alongside their listing in response.
