Adding new provider profiles
September 07, 2012
While a majority of US health care providers will be able to find their profiles on DocSpot, there are some licensed providers that do not have a profile on our site. This is because we use the National Provider Identifier registry as our base source. So, if a provider is not listed in the NPI registry, that provider also won't be listed on our site by default. Up until recently, we didn't have a way for such providers to get added to our site.
This week, we rolled out changes to enable such providers to be listed on our site. We think this is a win for providers who would like to get found. We also think this is a win for patients who are looking for doctors that might fit their needs better.
