How our guides are researched, reviewed, and kept current

Health insurance decisions affect people's money and their access to care. We treat our guides accordingly. This page explains the standards every article on MeetBrokers must meet.

Sources

Facts about Medicare come from Medicare.gov, CMS.gov, and the Social Security Administration. Facts about marketplace coverage come from HealthCare.gov, state marketplace websites, and the IRS. We cite sources at the end of every article and link to the official page rather than summarizing it from memory. When a figure changes every year, such as a premium, deductible, or income threshold, we point you to the official page instead of printing a number that will go stale.

Review

Articles are written by the MeetBrokers editorial team and reviewed for accuracy by a licensed insurance agent before they carry a "Reviewed by" byline. The reviewer's name and National Producer Number appear on the article. Articles without a reviewer byline have been checked against official sources but have not yet completed licensed review.

Updates

Every article shows the date it was last updated. We re-check all date-sensitive content each September, before the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period and marketplace open enrollment, and whenever a federal or state rule changes.

Independence

We do not run display advertising or affiliate links, and no insurance carrier or agent pays for placement in our guides. Agents listed in the directory subscribe to LeadGPT, a product of our parent company, and that relationship never influences what we write.

What we do not do

We do not give medical, legal, or tax advice, and we do not recommend specific plans. Our guides explain how things work so that your conversation with a licensed agent, your State Health Insurance Assistance Program, or Medicare itself is a better one.

Corrections

If you find an error, email hello@meetbrokers.com with the article link. We correct confirmed errors promptly and note material corrections on the article.
