Why Source Quality Matters

MedlinePlus explains that health information is easy to find, but reliable health information takes effort to evaluate. It recommends asking questions before trusting information, discussing health information with a provider before relying on it, checking who runs a site, understanding the site's purpose, looking for review processes, and checking whether content is up to date.

Preferred Source Types

Kefiw should prioritize:

  • Federal government sources.
  • State agency sources when state-specific.
  • Medicare.gov and CMS.
  • Medicaid.gov.
  • Social Security Administration.
  • IRS.
  • VA.
  • National Institutes of Health.
  • MedlinePlus.
  • CDC.
  • Administration for Community Living.
  • Established medical nonprofits.
  • Professional associations.
  • Peer-reviewed research where appropriate.
  • Direct insurer, plan, or provider documents for plan-specific content.

Source Hierarchy

Use this hierarchy:

  1. Primary source where possible.
  2. Government or official agency source for rules, benefits, limits, eligibility, and deadlines.
  3. Professional organization for general clinical or care guidance.
  4. Peer-reviewed research for evidence-based claims.
  5. Expert reviewer input for practical interpretation.
  6. Consumer-facing summaries only when primary sources are unavailable or too technical.

Topics Requiring Current Source Review

These should be reviewed at least annually or whenever rules change:

  • Medicare premiums.
  • Part B deductible.
  • Part D deductible and out-of-pocket rules.
  • IRMAA brackets.
  • HSA limits.
  • FSA limits.
  • Medicaid rules.
  • VA benefits.
  • Marketplace insurance limits.
  • State care regulations.
  • Tax-related caregiver guidance.
  • Facility complaint and reporting processes.

Citation Rules

Kefiw should cite sources when content includes:

  • Specific dollar amounts.
  • Coverage rules.
  • Eligibility rules.
  • Deadlines.
  • Statistics.
  • Medical safety claims.
  • Government program rules.
  • Legal or tax process descriptions.
  • Claims about professional standards.

What Kefiw Should Avoid

Avoid:

  • Unsourced statistics.
  • Outdated Medicare or IRS amounts.
  • Broad claims based on a single anecdote.
  • Promotional sources for neutral explanations.
  • Facility or agency marketing as the only source.
  • Medical content without clinical review.
  • Legal or tax claims without professional review.
