Editorial Integrity

Content is created by experienced journalists and reviewed by licensed insurance agents to ensure accuracy and clarity. MedicareGuide maintains full editorial independence, prioritizing helpful, unbiased information over industry influence. Compensation from advertisers may support the site, but does not affect content quality or objectivity.

Editorial Standards

We generally write about health insurance and Medicare, which we know inside and out. Our mission is to help everyday Americans make better health care related decisions through content that is written for them, not for health insurance industry insiders. No one in the health insurance industry has control over our content or our site. Our opinions and editorial decisions are made via expert guidance without influence from advertisers. The editors here are focused on providing the best information that will help people get the best health care with options that make sense for their lives. The views expressed by our editors might not always be shared by other sites or publications. Our advocacy or opinions are issue-specific and are not endorsements for any political ideology, party or elected official. We seek to be fair, objective, and completely accurate in our coverage.

However, we are not a non-profit and we may receive compensation from advertisers, if you use our tools or join a plan after visiting our site. Learn more about our standards here.
