Service to Specialty Mapping: What is it and how is it used?
- Aligns relevant provider specialties with supported services
- Helps to remove providers from cost search results where none of their specialties make sense for the service.
- For example - a Knee Surgery rate may be correlated to a Provider having a specialty of Physician Assistant from a data perspective but they would never actually perform such a service.
