MEDICO-LEGAL SERVICES:
GP and Consultants Look Up Services
When applying for insurance products, there is often a need for the applicant to supply the name and address of his or her GP.
This can present a problem, potentially resulting in delay, where the applicant does not immediately know how to spell their GP’s name, Surgery name or the correct address and postcode. SpecialistInfo can help insurance companies, and other firms such as health screening organisations that need to know clients’ GP details, to solve this problem by providing a “GP Look Up Service” that can be embedded directly in the companies’ systems. For example, by using appropriate “API” (Application Program Interface) calls in their systems, a relevant selection of GP names and practice addresses can be presented online while the applicant is present enabling the right selection to be made immediately. The service is up-to-date, fast, simple to use, cost effective and well proven through use with several major organisations. A similar service is available from SpecialistInfo for looking up Consultants’ details. For more information, to discuss your requirements and see a demonstration, please contact Emma Taylor at emma@specialistinfo.com or Hugh Whiteside at hw2@specialistinfo.com or phone 01423-562003.
