Hospital Web continues to develop its links. Allows access to a national database of more than 500,000 physicians from all 50 states and in 57 different specialties. Searchers can find doctors who meet their qualifications and can search their backgrounds for additional information. Compiled by Health Pages, a consumer health resource, the information comes from a variety of sources including state departments of health and insurance, federal and state health data organizations, and professional licensing boards. Health Pages also incorporates provider directories from more than 300 managed care plans nationwide, enabling you to determine a physician's health plan affiliation.
Additional data is received from surveys of physicians, hospitals and health plans.
