Medical review policy

Current status

We are recruiting reviewers. No page on this site has been medically reviewed yet. Until a page shows a named reviewer, treat it as consumer information that hasn't been clinically reviewed.

Which pages are reviewed

• Any page that describes conditions, medications, side effects, eligibility or crisis support.
• All pages in the weight care and birth control sections before publication.
• Therapy pages wherever they go beyond cost, insurance and logistics.

Pure cost, insurance and privacy-policy explainers may be published without clinical review. They don't carry a "Medically reviewed" label.

Who reviews

• Reviewers hold an active, unrestricted US license relevant to the topic: for example an MD, DO, PharmD or NP for medication topics, or a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT or psychologist) for therapy topics.
• We verify each license on the issuing state board's public lookup before work begins.
• Reviewers are paid a flat fee per review that doesn't depend on what they conclude, and they don't earn affiliate commissions.

What reviewers check, and what they don't

Reviewers check the accuracy, safety and framing of health statements and that the cited sources support them. They don't choose, rank or endorse the companies we write about, and a "Medically reviewed by" label doesn't mean the reviewer recommends any product or service.

How it appears on a page

Reviewed pages show "Medically reviewed by [name, credential]" with the review date, linking to the reviewer's profile and their public license record. Pages are reviewed again at least every 12 months, or sooner if official guidance changes.
