Our standards

Useful, sourced, and honest about uncertainty.

Health information deserves care. These are the rules we use when creating and updating content.

Primary-source first

We prioritize current guidance from public-health agencies such as the CDC, official regulator guidance, and the provider’s own current documentation for service-specific claims.

Clear separation of facts and judgment

We label provider claims as claims, date service reviews, identify meaningful limitations, and avoid presenting marketing language as independent medical fact.

No personalized medical advice

Our content is general education. We do not infer a diagnosis, recommend a personal testing schedule, or promise that a specific panel is appropriate for a reader.

Commercial independence

Affiliate compensation does not determine our conclusions. We disclose financial relationships close to recommendations and do not publish invented experience or testimonials.

Review and corrections

Service details are checked against current public materials on the date shown. Health guidance can change, so readers should use linked sources and professional care for current, individualized advice.
