Search tips

Be specific. "Medicare reform" is more precise than just Medicare.

Use phrases, with quote marks. Words alone make a weak search.
   "Medicare pay cut"   "licensing fees"   "disciplinary actions"

Combine terms. Zero in on what you want with multiple terms:
   +"online consultation" +reimbursement

Use capitalization with proper names.
   "American Medical News"   "HEALTH Act"   

Enter bylines or dates as you would a topic. To find stories by reporter Markian Hawryluk ... or from the Jan. 27 issue:
   Hawryluk         "Jan. 27"

Use the plus (+) sign to require. Put it right in front of the term, with no space in between. (Do not use + or "and" to connect terms.)
   RIGHT:   +upcoding +"CPT coding"
   RIGHT:   +"online consultation" +reimbursement
   WRONG:   online + consultation
   WRONG:   online and consultation

Use the minus (-) sign to exclude. For patient safety programs but not bills:
   "patient safety" -legislation

Tweak your search. Try a few variations to see what works best.
