Editorial standards

Dose Brief runs like a newsroom. Every price, states-served figure, and supply status we publish is tied to a primary source — the provider's own disclosures, official drug labeling, or the FDA drug-shortage database — and every entry carries an “updated” dateline so you know how fresh it is.

• ·Facts vs. judgment. Prices and verification are reported facts; the Brief Score is our editorial judgment under a published rubric.
• ·Independence. Assume any provider we list may compensate us — it's disclosed and never changes a score. It does affect placement: on the score-rankings, desks we earn on are listed first, with the real score printed beside every name. See the disclosure.
• ·Corrections. When a price moves or we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and re-date the entry. Telehealth pricing changes fast — always confirm on the provider's own site.
• ·Not medical advice. We report the market; we don't practice medicine. Talk to a licensed clinician before any treatment decision.

Who applies this policy, and how the desk is funded, is set out on the about page. Every scored provider is filed onto one of the price rankings, and the rules for using the site are in the terms alongside the privacy policy.
