Questions

What counts as one of my 3 free articles?

Each daily briefing, special topic, explainer or letter for patients you open in full. The Friday letter and the podcast never count, and daily briefing stories you open from a link in our emails do not count.

What does tool watch send?

An email when a tool you watch changes grade, has a new study, a lawsuit, an FDA action such as a recall, a security incident or a price change, or when a state law on our law map applies to its category in your state. You choose the tools, and whether to get the emails, on your account page. If nothing changes, we send nothing, and an alert can be missed or late.

Is there a free trial?

Apart from a discount code that makes the first year free, there is no free trial. You can ask for a full refund within 30 days of any charge.

Can I pay with my CME or education allowance?

Yes. Many employer education allowances pay for professional subscriptions like Plus and Pro. Pay with your own card, then give your employer two documents from your account page: the itemized receipt for each payment, and the expense letter, which says what your plan includes and the dates it covers. Save both as PDFs, not screenshots. Each employer sets its own rules. Some want approval before you buy, some set a deadline after the purchase, and a few pay only for accredited courses that award continuing education credit. Plus and Pro are professional subscriptions and do not award credit. Check your policy or ask your department administrator before you buy. Membership is paid by card, so the usual route is to pay and then be reimbursed.

Who can join Plus or Pro?

Anyone with a Physician in the Loop account. Sign in with your email or Google, then choose a plan. Physician in the Loop is the seller, and Stripe processes card payments.
