Affiliate Disclosure
How The RX Index makes money and how we protect editorial independence.
The RX Index is an independent editorial publisher. Some links on this site may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if a reader clicks through and later makes a purchase or signs up for a service.
That compensation helps support our research, publishing, and site operations.
How Affiliate Links Work
We may earn a commission from some links on this site. Using our links does not increase your price and may, in some cases, provide access to promotional pricing or discounts offered by the provider.
Where We Disclose Affiliate Relationships
We believe readers should be able to understand our financial relationships without having to search for them.
For that reason:
- This site maintains a dedicated affiliate disclosure page
- Pages that contain affiliate links may also include disclosures on or near those pages
- Affiliate relationships do not replace the need for readers to evaluate pricing, terms, and provider information directly
Editorial Independence
Compensation does not determine which providers we cover, how we evaluate them, how we rank them, or what conclusions we publish.
We do not sell rankings, positive reviews, or favorable editorial treatment. Providers cannot pay for higher placement, a stronger recommendation, or removal of negative findings.
Editorial decisions are made independently of affiliate and business relationships.
What Affiliate Relationships Do Not Mean
An affiliate relationship does not mean that The RX Index endorses every company we link to.
It does not mean a provider received favorable coverage in exchange for compensation.
It does not change our responsibility to evaluate providers using the standards described in our methodology and editorial policies.
Why We Use This Model
Affiliate revenue helps fund the work required to research provider pricing, review policies and onboarding flows, maintain standards pages, and update content when material facts change.
We use this model so we can continue publishing free educational and research-based content without requiring a subscription to access the site.
Reader Responsibility
Readers should not rely on affiliate links, rankings, or editorial summaries alone when making healthcare decisions.
Before choosing a provider or starting treatment, readers should review the provider's current pricing, policies, eligibility requirements, and medical information directly, and consult a licensed healthcare professional where appropriate.
Link Qualification and Disclosure Practices
Where applicable, The RX Index may use technical link attributes such as rel="sponsored" to help identify paid or affiliate-related outbound links.
We also aim to disclose affiliate relationships in a way that is clear to readers where those relationships are relevant to the content they are viewing.
