Search tips
Be specific. "Medicare reform" is more precise than just Medicare.
Use phrases, with quote marks. Words alone make a weak search.
"Medicare pay cut" "licensing fees" "disciplinary actions"
Combine terms. Zero in on what you want with multiple terms:
+"online consultation" +reimbursement
Use the plus (+) sign to require. Put it right in front of the term, with no space in between. (Do not use + or "and" to connect terms.)
RIGHT: +upcoding +"CPT coding"
RIGHT: +"online consultation" +reimbursement
WRONG: online + consultation
WRONG: online and consultation
Use the minus (-) sign to exclude. For patient safety programs but not bills:
"patient safety" -legislation
Use "or" if you want either term. For either Medicare or Medicaid:
Medicare or Medicaid
Use "( )" to group searches . For pay cuts in either Medicare or Medicaid:
"pay cuts" (Medicare or Medicaid)
Use the asterisk/star (*) as wildcard. For regulation, regulations (plural), regulate and regulatory:
regulat*
Tweak your search. Try a few variations to see what works best.
