How to Search, Sort & Filter Results in Provider Guide (Desktop)

Embold Health's Provider Guide employs different ways to find a high quality provider. This article will show you, step-by-step, how to search the desktop version of Provider Guide. It will also show you how to sort and filter your search results.

Searching Provider Guide

 

Step 1: Click inside the field that says “Search.” This will bring up a list of suggested searches.  You can choose from this list by clicking on one of the results or start typing in the search field. Provider guide allows you to search by Specialty, Provider name, and facility. In some instances, searching by the alias specialty name will bring up results for the specialty you are looking for (i.e typing “heart doctor” will bring up results for Cardiology).

*Note* Make sure the location is correct. If you need to change the location, click the “X” to clear the field. Start typing the City or Zip Code you wish to search for and results will begin to autofill.

Step 2: As you start typing, results matching your search will begin to autofill. Results will be grouped together by category. When you see what you are looking for, make your selection by clicking on it.

*Note* You can also perform a freeform search. If you perform a freeform search, instead of making a selection from the list, you will get a screen pop asking you to choose a category to search by (see example screen shot of freeform search).  

Step 3: Once you make your search selection, click the search button (red magnifying glass icon) to bring up a map and a list of providers that match your search. Find a provider that fits your needs by scrolling through the list of providers or click a red pin on the map to see a shorter list of providers in a more confined area.

*Note* To change your search, click in the search field and type a different search (Step 2) or click the Walmart Spark in the top left corner to start your search over.

Sort Search Results

 

Step 1: Click the “Best Match” drop down arrow to change the Sort option. By default, Provider Guide sorts by “Best Match.” The “Best Match” sort uses an algorithm that will show providers closest to you with the highest quality and benefits coverage.

*Note* You can only select one category to sort by.

Step 2: Once you have made your selection, click “Done” in the top right corner of the Sort window.



Filter Search Results

Step 1: Click the “Filter” drop down arrow to select your filter options.

Step 2: Check the box(es) next to the option you wish to filter by.

*Note* To uncheck a box, click inside the box again to remove the check mark. To clear all filters, click “Clear” in the top left corner of the filter window.

Step 3: Click “Done” in the top right corner of the filter window to apply the filter(s) to your search.
