Corrections Policy

We would rather correct an article than defend it. This page explains how CureAdvantage handles factual errors and outdated information, and how to tell us about one.

How we handle factual errors

When we find or are told about a factual error, we check it against the original source. If the error is real, we fix it in the article itself so that nobody reading the page later sees the incorrect version. If a statistic or a claim turns out not to be supported by the source it was attributed to, we remove or rewrite it rather than swapping in a different number to fill the gap.

Outdated information

Medical billing guidance goes out of date on a predictable schedule: annual code set updates, new fee schedules, and new final rules. When authoritative guidance changes, we revise the affected article and, where the change is material to how a reader would act, we say what changed and when it took effect.

What a correction will not do

A correction should leave an article better supported than it was. It should not quietly introduce a new unsupported claim, a new statistic that we have not verified against a source, or an attribution to an organisation that did not publish the figure. If we cannot verify a replacement, we say less rather than more.

Reporting a suspected error

If something on this site looks wrong, out of date, or unsupported, please tell us through the contact page or by email at contact@cureadvantage.com. It helps if you include the page address and, where you have one, a link to the source you believe is correct.

Please do not send patient information. Never include protected health information, patient names, medical records, insurance ID numbers, or claim data when you contact us.

Our approach to sourcing is described in our Editorial Policy.
