WebMD the Magazine is a bimonthly publication with an initial circulation of 1 million copies that is distributed free to patients in 85 percent of practicing physicians' waiting rooms across the country.

"WebMD the Magazine is uniquely designed to reach patients in the waiting room, giving them the information they need to have more productive conversations with their doctor."
