Healthcare.com launches private-label care provider directory

MIAMI HealthCare.com, an online healthcare provider search platform, last week announced the launch of its private-label care provider directory for drugstore.com.

As part of the new offerings, visitors to the drugstore.com web site will now be able to search the Healthcare.com’s provider directory, which includes more than 1 million listings for medical and dental professionals, practices, facilities and health-related businesses in more than 120 health and wellness-related categories.

"[The]drugstore.com [site] was a pioneer in health-related e-commerce, and is today one of the most recognizable brands on the web," stated Rob Monster, chairman of HealthCare.com. "This partnership builds on that heritage. By incorporating HealthCare.com's global directory of healthcare providers, drugstore.com's users can not only shop for health-related products on the leading online drugstore, but also search for care using the world's most complete database of care providers."

"We believe this medical provider search solution is a valuable benefit for our pharmacy and over-the- counter customers and is an important addition to services we already offer such as the Drug Information Database, Drug Interaction Checker and Ask Your Pharmacist,” said drugstore.com’s director of pharmacy services Arvin Marchel.
