Editorial Policy

We publish only what is real and verifiable. If a fact, figure, credential, or claim cannot be sourced, it is left out rather than guessed at.

We do not fabricate statistics, benchmarks, testimonials, case studies, certifications, reviewers, client names, awards, or dates. Numbers appear with their source and, where relevant, their definition; where we cannot show that, we describe the concept qualitatively instead of quoting a figure.

Every page is authored against a structured content model. A page becomes public only when it is explicitly marked published; drafts and in-progress material are not shown at all — a request for one returns a normal “not found” response, never a “coming soon” placeholder.

Because pages are generated from that model, their navigation, breadcrumbs, and structured data are derived from the same source rather than hand-written — so what a reader sees, what a search engine reads, and what the page actually contains stay consistent.

For factual claims we rely on authoritative primary sources, in roughly this order of weight:

1. Statute and federal regulation, and the rules and manuals of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
2. Payer-published medical and reimbursement policy, cited with its effective date.
3. Guidance from professional and standards bodies such as HFMA, AAPC, AHIMA, and HBMA.
4. Peer-reviewed literature, where relevant.

Content is published by US Medical Billing Company and attributed to the organization as its publisher. We do not attach individual author bylines or “reviewed by” lines unless a real, named person with the appropriate credentials has genuinely performed that role. Until that is the case, you will see the organization named as publisher and an honest “updated” date — never a fabricated reviewer or a decorative “medically reviewed” stamp.

What we cover and how we describe it is decided on the basis of accuracy and usefulness, not payment. We do not sell coverage, we do not accept payment to feature or rank a product, and we do not present vendor products as endorsements. Where a named product or company is mentioned, it is an illustrative example, not a recommendation.

When we identify a substantive error, we correct it and note that a change was made, rather than silently rewriting the record. Because regulations, code sets, and payer policies change on their own schedules, we treat accuracy as ongoing maintenance, not a one-time event.

Some content on this site is drafted with the assistance of AI tools. However it is drafted, all content is held to the standards on this page: it is tied to cited authoritative sources, it carries no statistic, quote, credential, or source we cannot point to a primary reference for, and it is published under the organization's name rather than a fabricated byline.
