Our rules
- Primary sources: every factual claim about coverage, rules or programs links to an official source (Medicare.gov, CMS, state agencies, statutes).
- Dates: each guide shows when it was last updated and checked against its sources.
- Scope: guides say who they're for and what they don't cover. We don't give medical, legal or financial advice.
- No rankings for sale: commercial relationships, if we ever have any, will never affect data, ratings or order.
- No mass-produced local pages: local pages must have real listings and local context.
Review
Guides are written and source-checked by the CaringBloom editorial team. Qualified clinical and benefits review is planned but has not happened yet; each guide says so in its byline. When a reviewer is added, we'll name them and the review date.
Updates
We re-check dollar amounts each January when Medicare updates them, and refresh CMS data when new monthly files are published.
