How We Write Our Guides
Insurance decisions touch your money and your family. So here’s exactly how we work.
Independent
We don’t sell policies and we aren’t an insurance agency. No insurer pays us to rank its plans.
Official sources
We check rules and numbers against sources like state insurance departments and NAIC and HealthCare.gov and the IRS.
Kept up to date
Insurance rules change every year. We review our guides and fix anything that has gone out of date.
Plain English
No jargon walls. When a technical word shows up we explain it in a sentence you can actually use.
Our guides are general information and not advice for your exact situation. Rates and rules vary by state. Spot something wrong? Tell us here and we’ll fix it.
