This is the Markdown version of https://damex.digital/sources/healthgrades/ # Healthgrades: does AI use it, and how to fix your listing > Healthgrades is a US directory of individual healthcare providers, with a free profile for every professional in the national NPI registry. Profiles list insurance, procedures, locations and patient reviews, and Healthgrades says updates sync to its partner sites. We found no official statement that AI assistants use Healthgrades data, but patients compare dentists there, so the details should match your Google profile.

On Growth and Authority, review replies are drafted for staff to approve and never mention a patient's treatment. ## FAQs ### Who can manage a Healthgrades profile? Only the healthcare professional or an authorised representative. Healthgrades checks a DEA or state licence number before giving access. ### Can a practice pay to remove a bad review? No. Healthgrades says doctors can't pay for good reviews or to remove negative ones. ### Does my med spa get a Healthgrades profile? Profiles are built for individual providers from the NPI registry, so licensed clinicians may have their own. A profile for the business itself isn't described. ## Sources 1.
