Free short list of doctors for a need in one country; use it first whenever the person needs a doctor. Set country to where the person wants to be seen: United States (country=US), New Zealand (country=NZ), France (country=FR); if that is unclear, ask them before searching. Parameters marked (US only), (NZ only) or (FR only) work for that country only. United States (country=US): Free short list of US doctors for a need; use it first whenever the person needs a US doctor: a specialist who focuses on a condition near a place (for a metro area use within_miles), who does the most of a procedure (sort='volume': Medicare 2024 counts with national and state ranks), or checking named doctors (name=...). Each result: doctor_id, name, degree, NPI, specialty (with its source) and the specialties their hospital website lists, city, state, distance_miles, warnings (federal exclusion list, Medicare opt-out, probably not a physician) and detail_has (what get_doctor adds for this doctor). With a condition or procedure, match_basis says whether the doctor has direct evidence for it (a listed focus, procedure volume or many such patients) or only a fitting specialty. Results are ranked by evidence of focus and experience for the need, not by quality or outcomes. Then call get_doctor with the doctor_ids you are considering (up to 10 at once) for the evidence. Up to 10 results per search and paging stops at 30: narrow the need or the place instead of paging. Conditions are matched to NLM MeSH terms (narrower terms and the general condition above it count too), common names such as 'afib' and clinical abbreviations such as 'CAD'; use English medical names when you can. Pass medicare_patient=true for anyone 65 or older or on Medicare. language= and accepting_new_patients=true filter by hospital-website pages, which most doctors do not have here; insurance cannot be filtered: if the person needs a specific plan, language or new-patient availability, find candidates on the web first whe

Evidence for doctors from search_doctors, by doctor_id. The id says the country (dr_ = United States, nz_ = New Zealand, fr_ = France), so no country parameter is needed; open one country's doctors per call. Parameters marked (US only), (NZ only) or (FR only) work for that country only. United States (dr_ ids): Evidence for doctors from search_doctors: pass doctor_ids (up to 10 at once), or one doctor_id, or an npi. Each different doctor you open counts toward a daily limit for your connection (replies show daily_doctor_limit when it matters); opening a doctor again the same day is free. Open the doctors you are seriously considering, not every result. One reply holds about 2-3 doctors (1 with detail='full'); the others come back under not_returned_yet, already counted, so call again with those doctor_ids at no extra cost. Full evidence for one doctor; use it to compare or check doctors the person names (by npi) and before recommending. Every doctor: registered specialty, practice locations with phones (phone_source), medical school, hospitals, medical group, Medicare 2024 patients and patient mix, procedure volumes with national ranks, Medicare opt-out and federal exclusion-list checks, and from official files prescribing_2024 (Medicare Part D 2024 summary and top medicines), industry_payments (2024-2025), industry_research_as_principal_investigator and mips_2024 (detail='full' returns them as one official_extras record). Any doctor whose Part D 2024 claims lean clearly toward one condition's medicines has prescribing_signals_2024 (more such patients, not quality). Doctors whose hospital system's own website was read have hospital_websites (per site: focus as standard MeSH terms, languages, education, board certifications, new-patient status, office phones and addresses, page address and date read; at some hospital systems also insurance_listed, the page's insurance list grouped by insurer, a lead to confirm). detail='full' returns every collected field. New Zeal

United States only. Check how a word is understood before searching: matching MeSH condition terms (with how many doctors' hospital-website profiles list each as a focus), procedure groups and specialties.

United States only. The 81 signature procedure groups with Medicare 2024 volumes and national ranks (CPT codes, common names, national median per physician).

Specialty names one country's database uses. Set country: United States (country=US), New Zealand (country=NZ), France (country=FR). United States (country=US): All specialties in the database with ids, families and physician counts. New Zealand (country=NZ): Specialty names used in this database (Healthpoint categories) with doctor counts. Free. France (country=FR): Specialty names in this database (official French names from RPPS and Ameli, and English labels) with doctor counts. Free.

What one country's database holds: sources, dates, counts and coverage. Set country: United States (country=US), New Zealand (country=NZ), France (country=FR). United States (country=US): Sources, build date, coverage counts, scoring method and caveats. New Zealand (country=NZ): Sources, read dates, coverage counts and known gaps. Free. France (country=FR): Sources, licences, read dates, coverage counts and known gaps. Free.

New Zealand only. Free list of New Zealand general practices (GP clinics), or urgent care clinics, near a place, from Healthpoint. Use it when the person needs a GP, wants to enrol with a practice, or needs urgent but not emergency care. Each practice: whether it says it is enrolling new patients (yes; restricted = only some people, e.g. family of patients or people living nearby; no; does not apply = urgent care that does not enrol; unknown = the page does not say), the practice's own enrolment note, its fee table (the first fee table on its page, usually fees for enrolled patients by age, without and with a Community Services Card; with age, the row for that age), addresses, phone numbers, website, online booking link, languages, hours, the doctors listed there (doctor_ids for get_doctor) and the date Healthpoint says the page was last updated. In New Zealand most people enrol with one general practice: visits cost less once enrolled, and a GP referral is the usual way to a public specialist. Give place or name. Practices are not doctors, so this does not count toward the daily doctor limit. Enrolment and fees change often: tell the person to phone the practice to confirm.

New Zealand only. Public-system waiting lists from Health NZ by district and specialty (latest month and the same month a year earlier): people waiting for a first specialist assessment (FSA) and for planned treatment (surgery), and the share waiting over 120 days. Use it when the person is weighing public against private, or which district is faster. Give specialty and/or district. Free.

France only. Which French hospitals and private clinics perform a procedure most, from Open CCAM (ATIH): number of acts per hospital site per year, 2021-2025, public and private. Counts hospital stays and day cases only (PMSI MCO); procedures done in a doctor's office or a hospital outpatient clinic are not counted, and a site with fewer than 11 stays for an act is not listed. procedure = English or French text ('cataract', 'knee replacement', 'prothèse genou', 'coloscopie', 'ablation fibrillation auriculaire') or CCAM codes; the reply lists the CCAM acts it added up, so check they fit the need (add-on codes and pathology are left out of text matches). For 'aneurysm' or 'stent' say where (brain, aorta, heart, carotid). place = city, postcode, Paris/Lyon/Marseille arrondissement, département number or a hospital FINESS number; without place it ranks all of France. Hospital-level only: it does not say which surgeon operates. Then use search_doctors with hospital_finess (salaried hospital doctors) or with the hospital's postcode and the specialty (self-employed surgeons at private clinics). Free.
