Etter hvert som forventningene til åpenhet rundt KI og datagrunnlag øker i Europa, mener vi at å vise selve verifiseringsarbeidet vårt er god praksis. Denne siden beskriver hva vi faktisk gjør i dag — det er ikke en påstand om sertifisering eller samsvar med noe bestemt regelverk.

Method and sources

This section explains, in English, where the details in a clinic profile on Finn-tannlege.com come from, how they are obtained, which date we store for them and what the badges on a profile mean. Where we have them, the source and the date fetched are stored with the value, but not for every field: what came with the first import from Brønnøysundregistrene, for example, has no date of its own.

Field by field

Helfo, emergency claims and specialties

Helfo direct billing is read automatically from the clinic's website: the AI model reads whether the clinic says it has direct billing with Helfo, and the badge is shown when the extraction has recorded that. We have no list from Helfo, so the badge is not a confirmation from Helfo. Ask the clinic before you book.

Emergency duty (the "Akuttvakt" badge) is shown only with a stored quote from the clinic's own website, in which the clinic says it takes new patients for emergency treatment outside regular opening hours (evening, weekend or night). A stored source for the detail is not enough. Without such a quote we show "Tar imot akuttpasienter" (accepts emergency patients) when the extraction from the clinic's website mentions emergencies, and otherwise no emergency detail. Always call the clinic first.

Specialties are shown when the clinic's website gives them, either as something the clinic offers or as the title of a practitioner there (for example "kjeveortoped", orthodontist). We have not checked that the practitioners are approved specialists.

What the "Verified" badge means

The "Verified" badge is shown only when the latest check found the entity active in Brønnøysundregistrene and the website confirmed as the clinic's own (the page shows the clinic's organisation number, or its name together with its town or postcode), and at least 3 of 10 extended profile fields are filled in. For a public dental clinic, a directory listing can take the place of a confirmed website, but not of an active entity in Brønnøysundregistrene. A badge set in another way, for example by an earlier automated routine, is shown only when the same conditions are met. The check is run by hand today, in small batches, so most clinics have not been checked yet. It also removes the badge when Brønnøysundregistrene shows the entity as dissolved, bankrupt or being wound up, when its industry code does not fit a dental clinic, or when the website cannot be confirmed three times in a row.

In these cases the clinic is set for review, and it has no badge until it has been checked again. If the entity is dissolved, bankrupt or being wound up, the clinic is also marked as closed.

Clinics without the badge remain fully listed in the directory — they are not hidden. In lists and search results, clinics with the badge come before clinics without it, but in a free-text search the clinics that match the search text as the earlier search read it come first, for example those whose name or place contains the whole text. Only permanently closed clinics or invalid listings are excluded from public search.

Last checked and last updated

The date of the last check ("last checked") is stored for each clinic the check has gone through. A clinic that has not been checked has no such date.

"Sist oppdatert" (last updated) on a clinic profile is the date the profile last changed, for example through an extraction, the check or a correction. It does not mean that every detail was checked that day.

Errors in a profile

Spotted something wrong? Email kontakt@finn-tannlege.com with the clinic's name, organisation number and what is wrong, or use the contact form (in Norwegian). Clinics can also ask for their profile to be corrected or removed.

What we don't do

We don't guess facts about a clinic and present the guess as confirmed. Details from a clinic's own website are the clinic's own details as the AI model has read them, not confirmation from a public authority.

This page describes what our verification pipeline genuinely does today; it is not a claim that we meet any particular law or regulatory standard.
