Helping protect dignity through transparency.

ProviderLedger is an open-source transparency system designed to bring structure and accountability to the complex landscape of licensed providers serving individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). It aggregates fragmented public information—such as licensing records, inspections, regulatory actions, and publicly available funding data—into unified, source-backed provider profiles. The goal is to make care system oversight more accessible, traceable, and understandable without replacing official regulatory authority.

At its core, ProviderLedger functions as a structured registry that normalizes provider data across states and agencies. Because provider information is often distributed across different licensing boards and state systems, the platform focuses on identity resolution—linking organizations that may operate under multiple names or across multiple jurisdictions. Each provider profile is built as a consolidated record that preserves source citations and historical context.

The platform also includes a funding transparency layer that tracks publicly available financial data, including Medicaid-related reimbursements where accessible, state contracts, federal grants, and other publicly disclosed funding streams. This allows users to understand not just who is providing services, but how those services are supported at the public level. All financial data is tied back to its originating source to maintain verifiability.

In addition, ProviderLedger supports a structured incident reporting system where users can submit anonymous reports related to care concerns. These reports are clearly labeled as unverified unless supported by official documentation, and they are never merged with verified regulatory records. Instead, they are organized as a separate data layer to preserve distinction between public allegations and confirmed findings.

Overall, ProviderLedger is built around a strict principle of separation between verified records, sourced documentation, and public input. It does not assign ratings or judgments to providers, but instead focuses on making underlying data visible, traceable, and auditable.
