Field notes
The extension is described as matching a practice’s name, address, and phone number against the site’s data, then exposing the ownership group, its backers, and sources. Its labels distinguish private-equity backing from lender control, public-company or insurer ownership, health-system ownership, and clinician-owned groups. The homepage also lists coverage by sector and links to city pages, state statistics, and recent deals.
