DISCLAIMER<br />

The NMF has not attempted to verify the accuracy <strong>of</strong> any <strong>of</strong> the information listed hereon and has not and is not certifying,<br />

recommending, referring or warranting the quality <strong>of</strong> care provided by any <strong>of</strong> the <strong>institutions</strong> listed in this directory. THIS<br />

LISTING IS A DIRECTORY NOT A REFERRAL SERVICE. It is important to understand the difference between a<br />

<strong>Directory</strong> and a Referral Service.<br />

A <strong>Directory</strong> is simply a list <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals or businesses, and no recommendations or guarantees are made regarding<br />

the quality <strong>of</strong> service you might expect from any <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>essionals or businesses listed. The Telephone Yellow Pages is<br />

a common and well-known example <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Directory</strong>. Some businesses are listed for free, and some businesses pay an<br />

advertising fee for a larger listing or display ad. Whether the listing is free or paid, no recommendations are expressed or<br />

implied, regarding the quality <strong>of</strong> services provided. The NMF has not accepted a fee from any institution listed above.<br />

A Referral Service is a screening service, and a recommendation is being made, <strong>with</strong> at least some endorsement <strong>of</strong> the<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionals or businesses listed in the service. Usually, a Referral Service will require a pr<strong>of</strong>essional or a business to<br />

meet some quality criteria before they are accepted into the Referral Service. This might include a specific number <strong>of</strong><br />

years <strong>of</strong> experience, passing a special test or training program not required by everyone in the pr<strong>of</strong>ession or business, or<br />

an absence <strong>of</strong> consumer complaints about the pr<strong>of</strong>essional or business. The <strong>National</strong> Register <strong>of</strong> Health Service<br />

Providers is a good example, or the various Board Certifications available in Medicine, which all require passing an<br />

examination, in addition to basic licensing as a healthcare pr<strong>of</strong>essional.<br />

The NMF does not provide a referral service. We do not verify the license <strong>of</strong> anyone listed. In many instances, the only<br />

information that we have about their pr<strong>of</strong>essional backgrounds is what they have told us.<br />

We request that you please use this directory as you would a telephone directory, to locate pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in your<br />

community. Once you locate a pr<strong>of</strong>essional, please investigate their background to insure that they are licensed, and that<br />

they do not have a history <strong>of</strong> complaints or disciplinary problems <strong>with</strong> their pr<strong>of</strong>essional licensing board.<br />
