Desk research against primary sources, with the issuing authority linked where a page states an official fee, rule or deadline.
Being in-network is not always a hospital-wide status — some insurers contract with specific doctors within a paediatric department rather than the department as a whole, so a hospital appearing on your network list does not guarantee every paediatrician working there is covered. Confirm the individual doctor's name against your insurer's list, not just the clinic or hospital name, particularly if you are booking with a specific consultant rather than whichever paediatrician is available.
A recommendation from other parents is useful for judging bedside manner and availability, but it says nothing about whether that paediatrician sits inside your specific insurer's network or what their DHA licence actually covers, so treat it as a starting point rather than a final answer. Cross-check the name against both your insurer's list and DHA's licensing records before booking, since a personal recommendation that turns out to be unnetworked converts a routine check-up into a full-price visit.
