Online rating site queried

Health insurer NIB will soon launch its Whitecoat website – an online rating facility which will allow the public to find and compare healthcare specialists. NIB has announced that they will be launching this site before the end of the year. It has indicated that it will be conferring with stakeholders as to what will be included on the site. The Australian Dental Association will be engaging in discussions with NIB. Because of the Dental Board of Australia’s advertising guidelines, ADA recommends that if members are approached to participate they decline at present pending further clarification as to exactly what NIB have in mind.
