Provider lead verification for pharma field sales

Stop sending reps to providers who moved, closed, or should never be visited.

Recerna verifies your pharma lead list against the NPPES registry, the OIG exclusion list, CMS, and live business data — returning a clear verdict and an auditable reason for every provider. Your reps spend the week selling, not vetting.

Runs as a signed desktop app on your own machines. Your lead list never leaves your environment.

The problem

A provider list is only as good as the day it was built. They go stale fast.

Between manual vetting, addresses that have changed, and exclusions nobody checked, your reps lose selling days and your territory data quietly drifts out of date. The cost shows up as wasted trips and avoidable risk.

A week per list

lost to manual vetting

A rep can burn the better part of a week hand-checking a quarterly list of a couple hundred providers — looking up NPIs, addresses, and operating status one by one.

Wasted field visits

to stale addresses

Practices move and close constantly. A drive to an address that's no longer current is a loaded cost of $100–300 — and a sample left at the door is gone.

Excluded providers

are a compliance risk

Sampling or engaging a provider on the OIG exclusion list is the kind of mistake that costs far more than a wasted trip. Most lists are never screened for it.

How it works

From raw list to verified territory in one pass.

Recerna doesn't replace your CRM or your reps. It takes the list you already have and hands back a cleaner, scored, and defensible version of it — so every visit is worth making.

01

Drop the list

Open the desktop app and drop in your CSV or XLSX — Recerna auto-detects the columns. Have thousands of rows? The command-line tool runs whole files with no cap.

02

Verify against the sources

Every provider is checked against the NPPES registry, OIG exclusions, CMS, Google Places, and phone validation — only the sources you switch on. Live progress, row by row.

03

Get a verdict, with reasons

Each provider comes back Good to Go, Verify First, Personally Verify, or Skip Lead — with a confidence score and every signal that fired. A decision you can defend, not a black box.

04

Download the clean list

Export an enriched CSV with corrected addresses, discovered phone numbers and websites, and the reason trail attached — ready to hand to reps or load into your CRM.

The sources

Authoritative data, cross-checked — not a single feed you have to trust.

Recerna corroborates each provider across federal registries and live business data. You choose which sources run; the free government checks are always on.

NPPES Registry

Federal · free

Exact or fuzzy NPI lookup. Confirms active vs. deactivated status, taxonomy, practice addresses, and the last-updated date.

OIG LEIE exclusions

Federal · free

Every provider is screened against the exclusion list. An exact NPI match is authoritative; a name-only match is flagged for a person to confirm — never auto-dropped.

CMS Doctors & Clinicians

Federal · free

Corroborates the practice address and Medicare-active status against the federal dataset.

Google Places

Google · optional

Surfaces business status — moved or permanently closed — and discovers the public phone number, listing name, and website for you.

Phone validation

Twilio / NumVerify · optional

Checks line status on the number in your file or the one Recerna discovered, so reps aren't dialing dead numbers.

DEA & license checks

Built in

DEA numbers are format- and checksum-validated, and license numbers are cross-checked against NPPES. Anything that can't be confirmed is flagged, not guessed.

Live state-board license verification isn't offered today — we'd rather tell you that than overstate it.

Security & trust

The most secure place for your data is the place it already lives.

Recerna was built on-premise from day one. SOC 2 Type II is on the roadmap — but because your data never enters our environment, most of what SOC 2 protects against simply doesn't apply to us in the meantime. We'll walk your security team through the full data-flow document.

On-premise by default. Data never leaves your perimeter.

Runs on your own machines

The standard deployment is a signed desktop app. It starts a local server bound to 127.0.0.1 — reachable only from that machine, never the network, never the public internet. We don't receive, store, or see your lead data.

No patient data, no BAA

Recerna works with provider directory information — NPI, practice address, specialty — not PHI. No patient data is ever involved, so a Business Associate Agreement typically doesn't apply. We'll put that in writing.

Two sub-processors, only when enabled

The government sources are public reference data. The only services that ever receive your data are Google (Places) and your phone validator — and only when you switch those sources on.

Local storage that expires itself

Cache and run history live on your machine with a 14-day default lifetime — clear them anytime by deleting a folder. When you leave, you uninstall; there's nothing on our side to retrieve or delete.

Who it's for

Built for the teams whose reps live on the road.

Pharma field sales teams

Reps working quarterly territory lists who would rather spend the week in front of providers than at a desk looking up NPIs and addresses one at a time.

Territory expansions & takeovers

A rep inheriting a new territory gets the whole list verified before the first drive — current addresses, live phones, and the dead entries already pulled out.

Compliance-conscious commercial teams

Teams that need every provider screened against the OIG exclusion list, with a visible, sourced reason behind every verdict they can hand to compliance.

Pricing

A few dollars a provider to avoid a $100+ wasted visit.

Recerna is licensed per team and scoped to your rep count and lead volume — not a credit-card sign-up. Because it runs on your own machines, onboarding is a conversation, not a checkout.

We'll model the return live against your real numbers, and a paid pilot is available so you can see a full quarterly cycle before committing the whole team.
