Time-sensitive facts can be held when required evidence is stale or unavailable.
Editorial standards
Evidence before publication.
CoveragePath is designed around a simple rule: technology can explain the evidence, but it cannot invent the underlying facts.
Source hierarchy
Primary sources establish the factual floor.
We prioritize CMS, HealthCare.gov, IRS, Census and other authoritative government or regulatory sources for claims that can affect Marketplace decisions.
AUTHORITATIVEEligibility rules, enrollment windows, Marketplace datasets and tax-credit guidance
MEASUREDSearch and product signals may prioritize questions; they do not become factual authority
GENERATEDExplanatory systems must remain bounded by verified evidence and publication gates
Publication safeguards
Population context, Marketplace evidence and personal eligibility are described as different things rather than blended into one claim.
When authoritative evidence changes, affected guidance should be reviewed rather than silently preserving an outdated claim.
What CoveragePath does not claim
CoveragePath provides educational guidance. It does not replace an official Marketplace eligibility determination, a personal plan quote, tax advice, legal advice or medical advice.
