Editorial policy

A sentence is published only when the value is in the project data files or in a cited primary source. The license check date on this wave is 2026-11-09.

Allowed sources

• NPPES download rows stored in data/npi_*.json.
• Texas Medical Board open data tm3v-pfq9, as already crossed in data/datos5/.
• U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for the San Antonio city population estimate.

Not allowed

• Medical advice, triage, or diagnosis.
• A ranking of who is best, busiest, or safest.
• The word pattern that calls the city short of cardiologists. The pages report counts only.
• Google Maps reviews, ratings, or scraped TMB Look Up pages.
• CDC or CMS statistics that are not saved as a cited extract in this repository.

License and discipline

currently_licensed, disciplinary_status, and registration_status are copied as stored. If disciplinary_status is not NONE, the page quotes it and stops. It does not retell the board order.

The San Antonio wave uses one check date, 2026-11-09, for the TMB crosswalk. NPPES last_updated can be older or newer on a single NPI, and the profile prints that date separately. Census population is the July 1, 2025 (V2025) estimate for San Antonio city, 1,548,422. Density figures divide registry rows by that estimate. They are not a staffing forecast.

Internal links point at pages that exist in this wave: the city hub, adult profiles, address groups with 3 or more rows, methodology, the data table, and these policy pages. Subspecialty hubs, Medicare filters, Spanish profiles, and pediatric profiles are not linked because they are not built.

Corrections

Use the claim form. In this preview it does not transmit. The methodology page records how a slug is built so a correction does not create a second URL for the same NPI.
