Vitals (website)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's currently a dispute whether Vitals is a website or a company. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be notable enough to be the subject of an encyclopedia article. There's next to no media coverage beyond a few passing mentions, often as one in a list of doctor review sites. There's nothing better on the "In the news" page on vitals.com, and the article's current sources are even worse. Huon (talk) 00:55, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

This company has had more media attention than most. It was the subject of an NBC Nightly News segment and an NPR Planet Money podcast. https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/employers-offer-cash-incentives-to-encourage-healthcare-shopping-763391043752 http://snip.ly/HDwp?utm_source=StartUp+Health+Insider&utm_campaign=f055468f8c-StartUp_Health_Weekly_News_10-14-2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_250bac26a5-f055468f8c-312240461&mc_cid=f055468f8c&mc_eid=a7bea70577#http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/10/02/445371930/episode-655-pay-patients-save-money

More recently, the company has been mentioned as the partner of several large health plans, including BCBS Massachusetts, BCBS Louisiana and Highmark. https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/payer-issues/bcbs-of-massachusetts-to-pay-members-up-to-250-per-procedure-when-they-shop.html http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/business/article_14225bc2-5c16-11e7-8b4f-b36bb8e56c52.html http://www.post-gazette.com/business/healthcare-business/2017/01/27/Highmark-insurance-opens-door-to-health-care-pricing/stories/201701240027 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmariestollars (talk • contribs) 11:33, 19 May 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: does not meet WP:NWEB nor WP:NCORP. Sourcing is passing mentions, routine funding news and / or WP:SPIP. Just a directory listing with no value to the readers. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:49, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
