Zocdoc's first acquisition in nearly 20 years is an insurance checker

Zocdoc's first acquisition in nearly 20 years is an insurance checker

Zocdoc has bought Sohar Health, its first acquisition in nearly 20 years. Sohar's software finds and verifies a patient's insurance coverage from a name and birth date. Zocdoc wants that check to work across its Care Access Network, which lets insurers, consumer apps and AI tools embed Zocdoc's clinician search and scheduling on their own websites and apps.

  • 01After nearly 20 years without an acquisition, Zocdoc's first purchase is the insurance check that sits between a patient's search and a booked appointment.
  • 02For practices that pay Zocdoc per booking, the sharper question is how often coverage verified at booking matches what the front desk confirms at check-in.

The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

One weak link in virtual physical exams is patient technique, since home readings depend on how patients take them.

  • 01Charting what a patient could not do for lack of home equipment is part of the exam record, and federal telehealth guidance ties that documentation to coding and billing.
  • 02Remote exams fit best where home data already accumulates: a week of home blood pressure readings or continuous glucose data shows what a single office reading cannot.

Healthcare staff judge leadership values by decisions, not statements

Healthcare leaders are judged by their actions and accessibility, not their stated values. Dr. David Schreiner argues that a leader’s legacy rests mostly on how people experienced working for them, while still recognizing financial performance matters. He also urges clearer priorities, visible leadership presence, and stronger succession planning.

  • 01Healthcare employees assess leadership values primarily through decisions made rather than statements.
  • 02Trust in leadership is gained when there is alignment between stated values and actual organizational decisions.
