Inteleos is the certifying body for sonography (ARDMS), point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), and certain physician credentials (APCA). If a hospital needs to verify whether a specific provider currently holds an active ARDMS or POCUS certification, the Inteleos verification portal is the source of truth. Medistill does not replace that. Medistill is the platform that screens every other compliance signal: state board licensure across all 50 states, exclusion lists from OIG and SAM and every state Medicaid program, FDA enforcement, court records, and financial conflicts. Most hospitals use Inteleos for sonographer credential verification and Medistill for everything else.
No. Inteleos is a certifying body that issues sonography (ARDMS), point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), and physician credentials (APCA). Medistill is a compliance and intelligence platform that screens providers across 130+ federal and state sources. If you need to verify whether a specific provider currently holds an active ARDMS or POCUS certification, use the Inteleos verification portal directly. If you need ongoing compliance monitoring, state medical board discipline tracking, exclusion screening, and litigation history across every healthcare profession, that is what Medistill covers.
Inteleos verifies certifications it issues: ARDMS (American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography) for sonographers, the POCUS Certification Academy for point-of-care ultrasound, and APCA (Alliance for Physician Certification and Advancement) for select physician specialties. Verification is performed one credential at a time through the Inteleos public portal.
Medistill does not pull live certification data from Inteleos. The source of truth for ARDMS, POCUS, and APCA credentials is the Inteleos verification portal. Medistill cross-references the provider's NPI taxonomy and state board records, which include the license numbers reported in NPPES, but the current issuance and revocation status of Inteleos-issued certifications must be confirmed at Inteleos.
Medistill screens 130+ sources, including OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, all 50 state medical boards, 40+ state Medicaid exclusion lists, FDA Debarment, FDA Clinical Investigator Disqualification, DEA registration records, federal court FCA and qui tam cases, NPDB malpractice reports, and CMS Open Payments. Inteleos is not a compliance screening platform and does not check any of these sources.
Inteleos verification is free at inteleos.org but only covers credentials Inteleos issues, one provider at a time. Medistill is from $199 per month, no annual contract, and covers batch screening of full provider rosters, all 50 state medical boards, 130+ compliance sources, federal court records, and predictive risk scoring with an A through F grade.
