Editorial standards for RevIQ payer intelligence.

Principles

Authoritative sources only

Payer-specific content is based on current documentation published by the payer or government program, such as provider manuals, medical policies, bulletins, and CMS or MAC guidance.

Source and date reviewed on every payer article

Each payer-specific article lists its sources and the date each source was last reviewed, so readers can judge currency.

Named authorship and review

Articles identify who wrote them and, where applicable, who reviewed them for revenue-cycle accuracy.

Updates are dated, not hidden

When requirements change, articles are updated and the updated date is shown alongside the original publication date.

Reimbursement support, not clinical advice

Content addresses billing, authorization, and reimbursement. It does not provide medical or legal advice.

No invented policy

If a requirement cannot be verified from an authoritative source, it is not published.

Payer content workflow

1. 01

   Source

   Locate the current authoritative document: the payer's provider manual, medical or reimbursement policy, bulletin, or the applicable CMS, MAC, or state Medicaid guidance.

2. 02

   Verify

   Confirm the effective date and scope. If the source is ambiguous or cannot be confirmed, the requirement is not published.

3. 03

   Translate

   Explain what the requirement means for billing, authorization, or documentation workflows, in plain language.

4. 04

   Review

   A second reviewer with revenue-cycle experience checks the article against the source before publication.

5. 05

   Date

   Record the date each source was reviewed and show it on the article. Payer content is re-checked and the updated date shown when it changes.
