Guide.md vs Doctors on Liens
Treat patients on lien? Your visibility shouldn't depend on one territory opening up.
Doctors on Liens says it accepts only one doctor per geographical area. Guide.md lets any verified provider publish that they treat on lien and appear on the doctors-on-lien pages for their state and city.

Doctors on Liens has operated a screened referral network for years; its public pages emphasise screening, geographic areas and referral-network membership. We do not state its price because we could not verify a current public provider price. Source: doctorsonliens.com, reviewed September 2026.
Don't replace a referral network. Add another way to be found.
Guide.md solves a somewhat different problem: publish the fact that you treat on lien wherever people search for you. Your listing connects your name, specialty, location, lien status, services and contact information, and Guide.md builds the pages attorneys look for: doctors on lien in California, doctors on lien in Los Angeles, orthopedic surgeons on lien in Los Angeles.
The badge is a line on your profile that AI assistants read as a plain sentence, a schema.org Service entry, and a place on the state and city listing pages. Add a note for attorneys: case types, same-week appointments, whether reduction requests are considered.

How to add it
- Claim your profile (free, $2 identity check).
- In the editor, under Availability & listings, tick "Treats patients on lien" and add your note for attorneys.
- $49 a month as an add-on, or included in Premium ($49 a month) together with the expert-witness listing and everything else in Premium.
Agencies and practice staff: claim on the provider's behalf, they approve with one click, and every account an agency brings earns 20% for 24 months through the referral program.
You don't have to choose one directory
Different platforms solve different problems. Use a booking marketplace if it profitably fills appointments. Use a legal referral network if it sends good cases. Use an expert-witness directory if attorneys find you there.
And use Guide.md as the professional record that ties the pieces together: your clinical work, procedures, locations, telehealth availability, industry consulting, lien work and expert-witness experience in one place, on one profile you control.
Claim the profile first. Decide what else you need afterward.
Questions
Is there a territory limit?
No. Every verified provider who treats on lien can be listed, in every city and state they practise in.
Do attorneys contact me through Guide.md?
Your profile carries your office phone and, if you add it, a public email and an appointment-request form. Attorneys contact your office directly; Guide.md does not sit between you and the case.
What does the listing cost?
$49 a month as an add-on on any plan, or included in Premium at $49 a month with the expert-witness listing.
