How we make money

Some telehealth links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission. Here is what that means and how it never shapes our coverage.

What an affiliate link is

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up with a telehealth service, we may earn a commission from that company. You pay nothing extra. The price you see is the same whether you use our link or arrive on your own.

Where they appear

Affiliate links appear only on pages that compare or list telehealth and compounding services, such as our service guides and comparison roundups. Every page that contains them is labeled where the links appear, so you never have to guess which pages earn us money and which do not.

What they do not change

Commissions do not decide what we write. They do not determine which services we mention, how we describe them, or what we say about compounded medications. They do not set the order of any list, and they do not override our editorial judgment. A service that pays a commission gets no favorable treatment, and a service that pays nothing can still be recommended if it earns it.

What we never do

We do not sell sponsored content. We do not accept payment for coverage, reviews, rankings, or mentions of any kind. And we never let a provider see or edit our text before it is published. Companies find out what we wrote about them when you do.

How to tell

Every affiliate link is labeled at the point where it appears, and this page is linked from the footer of every page on the site. If a link is not labeled as an affiliate link, it is not one.

FTC compliance

Our disclosure is placed where you can see it before you click, not buried at the bottom of the page. That is what the Federal Trade Commission requires, and it is also what we would want as readers ourselves.
