What is the difference between Sniffle and Zocdoc?

What about appointment costs?
Searching and booking appointments through Zocdoc is completely free. While some services like 24/7 on-demand virtual care require an upfront visit fee, standard appointment costs depend on individual insurance plans and selected providers.

All providers must meet state-level licensing requirements before listing on Zocdoc.
How does Zocdoc verify healthcare providers?
Zocdoc implements a thorough vetting process for all providers. This includes verification of active licenses, specialty credentials, board certifications, and good standing with federal healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Providers undergo annual re-verification and must maintain Zocdoc’s Community Standards. The Trust and Safety team investigates complaints and can take actions from warnings to complete removal from the platform.
Is Zocdoc a healthcare provider?
No, Zocdoc operates as a marketplace platform, not a healthcare provider. While providers pay to be included in the marketplace, they maintain no direct affiliation with Zocdoc. The platform does not offer medical services or make specific provider recommendations.
