Q.Why is ZHealth Online
now a pay service?
A.ZHealth Publishing has moved to
monthly or annual pay “memberships
(or subscriptions) for individuals (and annual group memberships—see
below) in order to enhance our existing ZHealth Online services that
we believe members desire. Providing this added value has meant significant
additional web site and content development costs—and ongoing costs. The initial reaction to our “pay” service,
has been tremendous, and we plan to continue providing even more types
of coding content to our ZHealth Online members in the future.
Q.What does a ZHealth
Online membership cost?

Q.If we sign up for
one of the “group” options, when do we
do we have to designate the names and email addresses for those individuals?
A.You can include all of them when you initially sign up or add members
at any point (up to your “bundle” limit, or the designated “administrator” of
your organization/corporation can add them at any point in our new system.
Q.Will I need a new user name and password?
A.Whether you are an individual or part

individual) must be received before your ZHealth Publishing membership

Q.If I sign up for the monthly option, how will I be charged?
A.You can only choose the monthly option if you are an individual paying

Q.Does Dr Zielske answer every Ask Dr Z. Forum coding question from members?
A.Dr Zielske will be answering even more
questions (submitted by ZHealth Online members, only) than in the past,
