Illinois physicians profiled on state’s new Web site
More information about Illinois’ doctors, including out-of-court settlements of malpractice lawsuits, is now available on a new Web site operated by the state.
The physician profiles available at www.idfpr.com provide that information and much more data that previously wasn’t available in one place on the Internet, such as doctors’ specialties, education, hospital affiliations and whether they accept Medicaid, All Kids or certain types of private insurance.
That information is reported by doctors, who must keep it current to continue practicing.
The site also lists information the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation previously hadn’t made public, such as any felony convictions for the past five years, serious misdemeanor convictions, and the most controversial data — the most recent five years of malpractice judgments and settlements.
