Editorial policy

Every guide on PsyAccess exists to help someone make a medical access decision. That obliges us to be precise about how our content is made — including where machines help and where humans decide.

How a guide is produced

1. Research from primary sources. Guides start with regulatory documents, national reimbursement rules, registry data and peer-reviewed publications. We do not source medical claims from news aggregators, clinic marketing or social media. Each guide links its sources inline, and catalog records name the registry they were verified against.

2. AI-assisted drafting. We use AI tools to draft and structure text from that research. We say this plainly because you should not have to guess. AI is a drafting instrument here, not an author: no text is published as generated.

3. Human editing and fact-checking. An editor reviews every guide against its sources before publication: claims are traced back to the cited documents, figures are re-checked, and anything that cannot be traced is removed.

4. Clinical review. Pages that make clinical statements are reviewed by licensed clinicians. Where a review has been completed, the page carries the reviewer's name, credentials and review date; where it has not yet, the page says so. A page-level "Medically reviewed" badge means the reviewer read the full material; a section-level note means the review covers that section.

5. Updates. Access rules change. Guides carry a last-updated date, catalog records carry a last-verified date, and registry-derived data is refreshed on a scheduled cadence.

What we never do

We do not accept payment for listings or rankings. We do not publish efficacy promises. We do not present screening tools as diagnosis. We do not write about treatments without naming their regulatory status — approved, off-label or investigational.

Corrections

If you find an error — clinical, factual or in a catalog record — write to hello@psyaccess.health or use the contact page. Corrections that affect medical meaning are prioritised and re-reviewed; the page's updated date reflects the change. Providers can request corrections to their listing via this form.
