Summary 

We've expanded our data integration capabilities with Doctor.com in Q1 2025 to deliver more comprehensive provider information to patients. This update includes enhanced data fields in three key areas:

1. Education History - More detailed educational background information
2. Hospital Affiliations - Comprehensive listing of affiliated medical facilities
3. Insurance Acceptance - Detailed coverage information about accepted insurance plans

These improvements ensure patients have access to richer, more complete information about providers, empowering them to make more informed healthcare decisions.

Key Features

In the enhancements we are moving away from a simple free text field, towards structured data for the following fields.

• Education: 
  • Institution
  • Degree received
  • Start & Graduation Year
• Hospital:
  • Hospital Name
  • City 
  • State
• Insurance: 
  • Company Name
  • Plan name
