Editorial Policy
MedicalFacilities.org's standards for accuracy, sourcing, independence, corrections, and how we use automation to produce guides and public-data pages.
MedicalFacilities.org exists to make public provider data usable. That purpose rests on trust, and trust rests on clear standards. This policy explains how we work.
Accuracy and sourcing
- Every factual claim about a provider is grounded in a cited public dataset.
- Statistical and regulatory claims in our guides are credited to a named source such as CMS, Medicare.gov, Medicaid.gov, the VA, the CDC, the Administration for Community Living, the National Institute on Aging, or the relevant regulation.
- When a figure changes over time, we direct readers to the authoritative source instead of publishing an unverified number.
- We never present estimates as facts.
Independence
No provider pays to appear, to rank higher, or to have its data changed. Advertising, where it appears, is kept apart from editorial content and does not affect which providers are shown or how they are described. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on the affiliate disclosure page.
No fabricated content
We do not publish fake reviews, testimonials, identities, credentials, or scarcity signals. We do not invent ratings. CMS ratings are reproduced as published and identified as CMS data.
Use of automation
We rely on software to acquire, normalize, and render large public datasets, and we use language tools to help draft and edit guide content. Automated output is checked against its sources before publication. Data values are passed through from the source rather than generated.
Corrections
When we make a factual error, we correct it and, for substantive corrections, note what changed. To request a correction, contact us with the page URL and the source that supports the change. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
Updates
We refresh provider data whenever CMS publishes updates and review guides periodically for accuracy. Pages show a last-updated date where available.
Scope
This policy applies to the content on medicalfacilities.org. It is an editorial policy, not legal advice.
MedicalFacilities.org is an independent informational directory. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by CMS or any government agency. Informational only, not medical advice.
Required disclosures
For general information only, not medical advice. This website shares public data and general information. It does not offer medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment guidance, and it cannot replace a consultation with a qualified health care professional or with Medicare.
Independent and unaffiliated. MedicalFacilities.org is a private, independently run directory. It is not affiliated with, nor endorsed or operated by, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Medicare, or any government agency. CMS has not reviewed or endorsed this site.
Confirm details before acting. Facility records come from public federal datasets and may lag or contain errors. Always verify current ratings, services, availability, and coverage directly with the provider and on Medicare.gov.
Certain outbound links on this site are partner or affiliate links. If you use them we may receive a commission, and your price does not change. This never influences the data we publish.
