Editorial Standards
At PriceMyMeds, we believe that everyone deserves access to trustworthy health information and transparent prescription pricing. Our editorial standards exist to ensure that every piece of content we publish meets the highest levels of accuracy, clarity, and integrity.
PriceMyMeds is a prescription price comparison and discount platform operated by Greenback Health Inc. We are not a healthcare provider, pharmacy, insurance company, or Medicare plan. Our content is designed for informational and educational purposes, helping consumers across the United States understand medical conditions, compare medication costs, and make informed decisions about their healthcare spending.
This page outlines how our content is created, reviewed, updated, and maintained — and why you can trust the information you find on PriceMyMeds.
Our Editorial Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their prescription costs by providing:
- Accurate, evidence-based health condition and medication information
- Real-time prescription price comparisons across U.S. pharmacies
- Clear, accessible content written in plain language following U.S. health literacy guidelines
- Transparent savings tools including free discount cards, manufacturer copay coupons, and patient assistance program information
Every piece of content on PriceMyMeds — whether it is a condition guide, medication overview, drug pricing page, or blog article — is held to the same editorial standards described below.
Content We Publish
PriceMyMeds publishes several types of content, each serving a distinct purpose for our users:
- Condition Blog Pages — In-depth guides covering symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment options, and when to see a doctor. These pages help users understand their health conditions and the medications commonly prescribed for them.
- Drug Information Pages — Detailed profiles for prescription medications including uses, dosage, side effects, warnings, and real-time pricing from our pharmacy network.
- Pricing & Comparison Pages — Live, regularly updated prescription cost comparisons across thousands of U.S. pharmacies, powered by our pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) partner network.
- Informational Blog Articles — Supplementary articles covering health tips, cost-saving strategies, insurance navigation, and general wellness information.
- Transactional Pages — Pages where users can access discount cards, apply coupons, and complete prescription-related transactions.
Regardless of content type, all pages adhere to our sourcing, accuracy, and review standards.
How Our Content Is Created
Our content development follows a structured, multi-step process designed to ensure quality at every stage:
1. Research & Planning
Each piece of content begins with thorough research. Our editorial team identifies topics based on user needs, search trends, and gaps in publicly available health information. We prioritize topics that directly help users understand their conditions and reduce prescription costs.
2. Drafting
Content is written by qualified contributors with backgrounds in healthcare, pharmacy, medical journalism, or public health. All health-related content is drafted using evidence-based sources and follows plain-language principles aligned with the U.S. Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion’s health literacy guidelines.
3. Editorial Review
Every article undergoes editorial review for clarity, readability, grammatical accuracy, and adherence to our style guide. Our editors ensure content is free from jargon, bias, and unsupported claims.
4. Medical Accuracy Review
Health-related content is reviewed for medical accuracy to ensure alignment with current clinical guidelines, U.S. government health agency recommendations, and peer-reviewed research. This review verifies that all medical claims, drug information, dosage references, and treatment descriptions are accurate and up to date.
5. Publication & Ongoing Monitoring
After publication, content enters our monitoring cycle. We track changes in medical guidelines, FDA updates, drug safety alerts, and pricing data to ensure published content remains current and reliable.
Medical Review Process
Because healthcare content can directly influence personal decisions, we take medical accuracy seriously. Our medical review process ensures that all clinically focused content is:
- Consistent with current medical guidelines from recognized U.S. health authorities
- Supported by peer-reviewed scientific research
- Free from unverified medical claims or opinion-based health advice
- Reviewed for appropriate context — clearly distinguishing between general educational information, pricing data, and clinical medical advice (which we do not provide)
Reviewers evaluate content for factual accuracy, appropriate medical terminology, completeness of safety information (including warnings, contraindications, and side effects), and alignment with established clinical practice standards in the United States.
If any AI-assisted tools are used during the content creation process, all output is subject to the same editorial and medical review standards described above. AI tools do not replace human review — they may support research and drafting, but every piece of content is verified by qualified personnel before publication.
Sourcing Standards
We maintain strict sourcing standards to ensure the reliability of the information we publish. Our content draws from the following types of authoritative sources:
- U.S. Government Health Agencies — Including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
- Peer-Reviewed Medical Journals — Studies and clinical trials published in established medical journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, The Lancet, and BMJ.
- Academic Medical Institutions — Recognized teaching hospitals, medical schools, and research centers.
- Professional Medical Associations — Organizations such as the American Medical Association (AMA), American Pharmacists Association (APhA), and disease-specific organizations.
- Clinical Drug References — FDA-approved prescribing information, DailyMed labels, and official pharmaceutical documentation.
We cite all sources within our content, with references listed at the bottom of each article. Third-party claims are linked directly to their original source wherever possible.
Sources We Avoid
- Unverified health blogs or personal opinion sites
- Non-evidence-based alternative medicine claims
- Social media posts or anecdotal reports without scientific backing
- Outdated research (more than 5 years old) unless it represents foundational medical knowledge
Pricing Data Accuracy
Prescription pricing is central to our platform. We are committed to providing the most accurate and current pricing information available:
- Drug prices displayed on PriceMyMeds are sourced from our pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) partner network and are updated regularly as pharmacy and partner data changes.
- Prices shown represent estimated costs with a PriceMyMeds discount card and may vary by pharmacy, location, dosage, and quantity.
- We clearly label all pricing as estimates and encourage users to confirm final pricing with their pharmacy at the time of purchase.
- Manufacturer copay programs and patient assistance programs are identified separately from discount card pricing.
- We do not guarantee specific prices, as actual costs depend on factors including pharmacy selection, geographic location, and available inventory.
Our pricing tools are designed to help consumers compare options and find potential savings — not to replace professional pharmaceutical or financial advice.
Content Updates & Maintenance
Healthcare information evolves as new research emerges, drug approvals change, and clinical guidelines are updated. To maintain the accuracy and relevance of our content:
- Condition guides and medication pages are reviewed on a regular schedule and updated when new medical evidence or guidelines are published.
- Pricing information is updated as pharmacy and partner data changes to reflect current market conditions.
- Content is revised promptly when the FDA issues new drug approvals, safety alerts, boxed warnings, or recalls.
- Each article displays a “Last Updated” or “Medically Reviewed” date so users can assess the recency of the information.
- Outdated or discontinued drug information is archived or clearly marked to prevent confusion.
Editorial Independence & Conflict of Interest Policy
Maintaining editorial independence is essential to the trust our users place in us. PriceMyMeds operates as a prescription discount program and marketing platform administered through our pharmacy benefit manager partner network.
Our Commitments

We strive to present cost, medication, and health information clearly, accessibly, and without bias — following principles consistent with those outlined by the Association of Health Care Journalists.
Advertising Policy
PriceMyMeds may display advertising or sponsored placements on our platform. To maintain user trust:
- All advertisements are clearly distinguished from editorial content through visual labeling (e.g., “Sponsored,” “Ad,” or “Partner Program”).
- Advertisers do not influence the creation of our editorial content, health information, or drug pricing comparisons.
- We do not accept advertising for products or services that conflict with evidence-based medical information.
- Advertising revenue does not determine which drugs, pharmacies, or conditions are featured in our editorial content.
