Editorial Standards

1. Editorial Independence

The RX Index maintains a clear separation between editorial decision-making and business relationships.

We do not sell rankings, positive reviews, favorable coverage, or removal of negative findings. Providers cannot pay for a higher score, stronger recommendation, or preferred placement in our editorial content.

Compensation from advertising, partnerships, or affiliate relationships does not determine which providers we cover, how we evaluate them, or what conclusions we publish.

We reserve the right to decline or end commercial relationships with companies that do not meet our standards for transparency, safety-related disclosure, or reader trust.

2. Research and Sourcing Standards

We aim to rely on primary and high-trust sources whenever possible.

Depending on the topic, our sourcing may include:

• Provider pricing pages, FAQs, terms of service, and onboarding flows
• Official manufacturer materials and prescribing information
• FDA labeling, safety communications, and regulatory documents
• Peer-reviewed medical literature
• Publicly available pharmacy, licensing, or regulatory records

We do not rely solely on marketing language or promotional claims when evaluating medications, providers, pricing, or treatment-related information.

3. Fact-Checking and Accuracy

Before publication, pages are reviewed for clarity, internal consistency, and factual alignment with source materials.

We pay particular attention to claims involving:

• Medication information
• Pricing or fee structures
• Provider policies and cancellation terms
• Pharmacy or fulfillment disclosures
• Regulatory or safety-related statements

When an important detail cannot be verified with sufficient confidence, we either exclude it, qualify it clearly, or state that the information could not be confirmed.

4. Provider Reviews and Rankings

Our provider reviews and comparisons are based on a consistent editorial framework.

When evaluating providers, we may consider factors such as:

• Medical rigor and clinical safeguards
• Pricing transparency
• Pharmacy transparency and quality signals
• User experience
• Range and clarity of medication options

Commercial relationships do not improve a provider's score, ranking, or editorial treatment.

5. Medical Review Policy

The RX Index publishes editorial content about prescription weight-loss treatment, provider options, medication information, and pricing research.

Some pages may also undergo medical review by a licensed clinician. When that happens, the page will clearly identify the medical reviewer, the reviewer's credentials, and the review date.

If a page does not identify a named medical reviewer, it should be understood as editorial and educational content only. It should not be treated as personalized medical advice.

6. Authorship and Accountability

We aim to make responsibility for our content clear.

Where appropriate, articles identify the writer or editor responsible for the page and link to a profile page with background information about that person's role and coverage areas. Pages that have undergone medical review identify the reviewer on the page itself.

The RX Index is an editorial brand operated by Kozi Publishing LLC. Final editorial responsibility rests with the site's responsible editor.

7. Updates and Ongoing Review

We review active content on a rolling basis and update pages when material facts change.

This may include changes to:

• Pricing
• Provider policies
• Medication availability disclosures
• Safety information
• Regulatory developments

A page's "Last Updated" date reflects the most recent substantive factual review of that page.

8. Corrections Policy

We take factual accuracy seriously and correct material errors when they are identified.

If a meaningful factual error is discovered, we update the page as appropriate. When warranted, we may also note the correction on the page itself.

Readers who believe a page contains inaccurate or outdated information can contact us at corrections@therxindex.com.

9. Affiliate and Financial Disclosure

The RX Index may earn commissions from some links on this site.

That compensation helps support our research and publishing operations, but it does not determine our rankings, conclusions, or coverage decisions.

We do not allow compensation to override editorial judgment. For more information, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

10. Content Categories

To help readers understand what they are viewing, The RX Index may publish several types of content, including:

• Provider Reviews: Structured evaluations of specific providers
• Cost Analyses: Pricing breakdowns and cost-comparison content
• Educational Guides: Informational articles about medications, treatment concepts, and care pathways
• Policy and Standards Pages: Documents that explain how our site operates

11. Reader First Principle

Our goal is to publish content that is useful, clear, responsible, and worthy of trust.

We aim to explain complicated healthcare topics in plain language, disclose our limitations honestly, and make it easier for readers to understand what they are comparing before making important decisions.
