## Questions

### Does this course teach me to judge image quality or care?

No. It shows you how to check public price data and public records of credentials. Questions about the care itself go to the doctor who ordered the scan.

### Can I use the certificate to show I am qualified to review hospitals?

No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It records that you passed the exam. It is not a licence or a professional qualification.

### What if a price on a hospital page is wrong?

Open the hospital's price file and find the rows for the code. If the page does not match the file, use the 'Suggest a change' link on the page. Include the file link, the code, the row and the date. An admin reviews each suggestion.
