As part of its efforts to expand the health information it provides, today it announced a new feature in search that will allow doctors to list which languages they can speak at their offices.

The ability to see what insurance networks are accepted by providers listed in a search is one of the new features that was added to the website. Iz Conroy, a spokesman for the company, said that people can now filter by providers who accept Medicare on mobile.
