Editorial policy

TeleMed Today publishes reference content about a regulated, fast-moving field. This page explains how that content is produced and maintained.

Sourcing

Regulatory claims are grounded in primary sources where they exist: statutes, regulations, the Federal Register, CMS and HHS guidance, and state licensing boards. Clinical claims rest on peer-reviewed research and clinical guidelines. Secondary trackers such as the Center for Connected Health Policy are used to find primary sources, not in place of them. Each article lists its sources. Statistics are attributed to a named source; if you find one that is not, tell us.

Fact-check review

Before an article is published, and again when it is substantially revised, it goes through a separate fact-check review. Each factual claim is checked against the source it cites, and a claim the source does not support is corrected or removed. Legal and regulatory claims are checked against current statute and regulation text, not summaries. This review is editorial, not clinical. It is carried out by AI tools working to our written verification standards, under human editorial direction; the corrections it requires are made before the article is published.

Clinical review

TeleMed Today does not promise medical or clinical review of its articles. Our content is editorial reference material, not clinical guidance. If a clinician reviews an article, that article will say so and name the reviewer and their credentials. An article without that label has not been clinically reviewed.

Updates

Every article shows a visible last-updated date. Pages covering volatile policy, such as Medicare telehealth flexibilities, DEA prescribing rules, and state law, are rechecked when rules change and when readers report problems, and revised when needed. Where a rule is in flux, we say so, and where a temporary rule has an end date, we give it.

Ownership, independence & advertising

TeleMed Today is owned and operated by ZSKFL Management, which also has ownership interests in behavioral-health treatment providers and owns other health-education websites. Where an article links to an affiliated property, the affiliation is disclosed at the link. We do not accept payment for coverage, rankings, or recommendations. If sponsored or affiliate content is ever introduced, it will be clearly labeled and will not influence editorial conclusions.

AI assistance

We use AI tools in research, drafting, and fact-checking, with human editorial direction and responsibility for everything we publish. Errors are ours; tell us and we will fix them.

Corrections

Report errors to hello@telemedtoday.com. Substantive corrections are made promptly, and the article’s last-updated date changes.

Not advice

Nothing on this site is medical, legal, or billing advice. Verify current rules with CMS, your state boards, and your payers before acting.
