Editorial and review policy

Sources

We prefer primary sources: the hospital's own page, a government price document, or an official visa/immigration page. A source link should point to the page that supports the claim, not only to a homepage.

Where a claim has only a homepage-level source, the page says the specific document is pending instead of presenting the homepage as evidence. We record the retrieval date where the data model provides one.

Prices and estimates

A public procedure fee is a single line item. It is not a complete treatment total. Pages that show a fee must also show what is excluded (implants, stay, tests, anesthesia, medication, follow-up), the sample size and the data date, and must offer a written-estimate route.

We do not invent a total-cost range when the source does not provide one. A hospital's written estimate is the only basis for a real quote.

Medical review status

We do not currently have a named medical reviewer or a clinical sign-off process for every page. We do not describe content as medically reviewed when it has not been.

Clinical claims are limited to what a cited public source says. Pages that need clinical judgement use neutral language and direct the reader to a qualified clinician.

Updates and corrections

Each editorial page shows a last-reviewed date. A date is changed only when the content or its sources are actually checked, not on a fixed schedule.

Corrections are handled through the contact form. We aim to acknowledge a specific factual report within five working days and to correct or explain the status on the page. See the corrections page.

Independence and conflicts

Hospitals cannot pay for inclusion, ranking or a changed price. We do not publish star ratings or patient reviews. Any future commercial relationship that could affect content must be disclosed on the affected page and in this policy.
