Editorial policy
This page explains how guides on Modern Body Doc are chosen, researched, checked, updated and corrected.
What we cover
Consumer questions about US telehealth: cost, insurance and Medicare coverage, employer benefits, privacy and data practices, sign-up and cancellation, availability by state, and the difference between FDA-approved and compounded products. We don't publish medical advice, treatment recommendations or dosing information.
How we choose topics
We pick questions real people ask before signing up for a service, especially cost and coverage questions that companies' own pages don't answer clearly. Commission rates don't decide what we cover or what we conclude.
Sources
- Prices, plans and coverage: the company's own current pages, linked, with the date checked.
- Regulation and safety: official sources such as the FDA, FTC, CMS/Medicare.gov and state agencies.
- Health information: official labeling, government health sources and peer-reviewed research. Health content is checked by a licensed clinician (see the medical review policy).
- We clearly attribute a company's own claims, such as satisfaction statistics, to that company (for example, "Company X says…"). We never present them as independent findings.
First-hand experience
We only describe using a service if we actually did, and we say what we did and when. We never invent testimonials, quotes, ratings or test results. Where a guide is based on research rather than personal use, it says so.
Dates and updates
Every guide shows a "Last updated" date. Prices and coverage details also carry a "checked on" date. We re-check key facts at least every six months, and sooner when a company or regulator announces a change. We only change a page's date when we've actually re-checked or changed it.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please tell us. We aim to review reports within five business days. Material corrections are noted at the bottom of the page with the date.
Use of AI tools
We may use software tools, including AI, to help with research organization, drafting or proofreading. A human checks every fact against its source before publishing, and AI is never presented as a person or credited as a reviewer.
Independence and money
Some pages may contain affiliate links. Companies can't pay for coverage, rankings or positive conclusions, and they don't review our content before publication. See the affiliate disclosure.
