Your homepage says “NOW COVERED BY INSURANCE” with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield listed, but when going through your signup, it says “Advocacy isn't covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield just yet. We're working on it!”

Just curious, why would you put a figure on the signing bonus but not the salary?

Thanks a lot :) That’s really helpful. I’m working on adding a map view for now, but will save this for when I get there.

I’m making a new version [1] of https://www.physician.fyi that has this as a key trait since I'm trying to show medical practitioners' complete individual profiles as well as aggregate patterns across practitioners. I

Thanks! I'm looking at the Contribute page and seeing some cool ideas.

It's fuzzy search, so the most relevant ones should be ordered correctly. I can certainly tune the threshold to not keep less relevant ones.

Thank you. I'm going to refine the site a bit more over the next week and maybe do a second state myself to make sure my pattern generalizes well before opening up the repo, but I've now made a discord https://discord.g

Sorry to hear you've also had poor experiences. I too had to delve into Pubmed to figure out what was going on with me after the doctor harmed me. Thank you for offering to help out. I do want to refine the site and data a little more

"—more states coming soon" ;) No state publishes this depth of data machine readable. u/cobertos covered the rest in their reply.

Thank you! I too had no idea it existed before it happened to me.

Something patient-initiated should always be possible. Already patients take to Yelp and Google Maps to leave reviews, but they are often taken down by the doctor/business. I've enabled comments on doctors' profiles as a firs

Thank you for the recommendation. I plan to enable geo-filtering via the map. I'll need to figure out what is the best granularity to do so at—maybe county. I might be able to give an option for the granularity too.

Thank you. I agree that even though in the US this stuff is not as available as it could be, it still beats most of the world. That's why I think allowing for patients to report the information is so important. I've taken the firs

So sorry that happened to you too. Thank you for signing the petition—I hope that would obviate the need for this site altogether.

I marked the map feature beta because I noticed the geocoding wasn't accurate for all addresses. I'll get on that. I'm hesitant to just exclude ones not in the US though because it's possible a doctor has a California li

Thanks but the site seems to be down. Do you have another link?

I have to admit I missed a few hundred out of about 18k PDFs. I didn't keep track of which ones I archived on my initial pass, so I need to rerun the whole script which takes about a week with Web Archive's rate limit, so I'v

Thank you. 1. Fixed 2. Do you think this is because the URL stores the filter params, so every time you change a filter it's a new address? Do you have any examples of similar sites and how they behave? I can change this if it's n

Thank you. I'll fix this. I'm working out dark mode for the map, so I'll do it along with that when I figure it out.

Thank you. I'll fix asap. The data source only gives me the names as complete names in "last, first middle" format, and I didn't want to take risk parsing them since there are inconsistencies, but I'll work it out.

I've read some others with undercover agents when federal money is involved in the care like the patient using Medicaid and the doctor repeatedly uses that as a ticket for billing unnecessary services.

Thank you. Here [1] is the source for one, which states "An arbitration award is a payment for damages and does not necessarily reflect that the physician's medical competence is below the standard of care. The Medical Board revie
