The FolioMed Physician directory is complete and accurate reference of actively practicing physicians, revised every year with direct verification of each physician and healthcare facility. The physician information includes multiple practice addresses; phone, fax and emails; identifiers such as UPINs and NPIs; medical specialties and affiliated hospitals. Folio's physician and healthcare facility information is developed from a combination of public data sources, proprietary software and its own direct data gathering and verification processes. Folio is unique in the medical industry in developing a state-wide census of all practicing physicians and in directly verifying practice information each year with every provider. Much of the proprietary information in Folio databases results from updates made directly by physicians and facilities using Folio's website, www.FolioMed.com. Author Bio: Folio Associates, a predecessor to FolioMed, was founded in the early 1970's, recognizing a need in the medical community for a directory listing all the physicians in Massachusetts they launched the first printed Folio's Physician Directory of Massachusetts in 1972.
