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.

The second version of https://www.physician.fyi/ , a database of doctors and other medical practitioners with their disciplinary actions for patients to check. In this version, I’m expanding it to include all 6.5 million practitioners in the US, and integrating more data like how much doctors have been paid by drug/device companies. I’m planning on adding patient reviews/complaints too.

It’s the biggest and dirtiest dataset I’ve ever worked with, so it’s been interesting to figure out practical solutions to run things fast and generalize cleaning tasks. Of course it’ll be impossible to get every case (I can only match about half of the state licenses to national records at the moment), so I’ll have to figure out a user-edit/consensus system for the rest.

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 took inspiration from https://www.plasticlist.org. I'm still trying to figure out how to integrate the chart(s) and map now, so I'd appreciate any ideas.

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.gg/bXdk4CuR7B for anyone interested in contributing.
