How we keep this accurate
Recoverion covers health benefits, insurance coverage, and addiction treatment — topics where a mistake carries real consequences. These standards govern every page on the site and are not optional.
01 Sourcing
Every benefit and coverage claim on Recoverion links directly to the official source behind it. We do not paraphrase rules from memory or cite secondary articles when the primary source is available.
Coverage claims link to official rules
When we say TRICARE covers a specific level of care, the sentence links to the TRICARE policy page that says so. When we describe a VA benefit, the link goes to VA.gov. The reader can always verify what we are saying.
Statistics are sourced or not used
We do not estimate, round, or reproduce figures from secondary sources. Every number on the site links to the original data. If a statistic cannot be sourced to an official reference, it is not used.
Where it depends on the individual, we say so
Benefits and costs vary by plan, status, and circumstance. Rather than oversimplify, we explain the variable and point readers to where they can confirm the specifics for their own situation.
The three primary official sources used across the site:
| Source | Used for | URL |
|---|---|---|
| TRICARE.mil | Coverage rules, plan types, prior authorization, cost-shares, in-network policy | tricare.mil ↗ |
| VA.gov | VA substance use treatment, eligibility, mental health programs, veteran benefits | va.gov ↗ |
| Texas DSHS | State licensing for treatment facilities, Texas-specific regulations | dshs.texas.gov ↗ |
02 Clinical review
Any page that covers treatment processes, mental health conditions, clinical terminology, or health outcomes goes through a formal review by a licensed clinician before it is published. Editorial accuracy alone is not sufficient for clinical content.
Draft written and fact-checked
The page is drafted with all coverage and benefit claims linked to official sources. Internal fact-checking confirms accuracy against the cited references.
Clinical review
A licensed clinician reviews the content for clinical accuracy: correct descriptions of conditions, treatment processes, and health outcomes. Any inaccurate or misleading clinical language is flagged and corrected before publication.
Reviewer credited on the page
Clinical content carries a byline identifying the reviewer’s name and credentials. This information is also encoded in the page schema (reviewedBy) for structured data purposes.
Published with a review date
The page shows when it was last reviewed. That date is updated each time the page goes through the review process again.
What clinical review covers
Descriptions of detox processes, levels of care (residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient), co-occurring disorders, and mental health conditions. It does not cover insurance or legal content, which is handled editorially and sourced directly to official policy documents.
03 Currency and updates
TRICARE coverage rules, VA programs, and Texas state licensing requirements change over time. A page that was accurate when it was written may become inaccurate without any change to the text. We treat currency as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time task.
Every page shows its last-reviewed date
Readers can see at a glance how recently the content was checked. The date reflects the most recent review against current official sources, not just the original publication date.
High-priority pages are reviewed regularly
Insurance navigation pages, coverage rules, and cost information are reviewed on a scheduled basis. Pages are also reviewed whenever a material change is announced by TRICARE, the VA, or Texas DSHS.
Source links are kept live
When official source pages change their URLs or are reorganized, we update the links so readers can always reach the original reference.
04 Corrections
We make mistakes. When we do, we fix them promptly and transparently. Recoverion does not silently edit content to remove errors — corrections are noted so readers who saw the original version understand what changed and why.
Errors are corrected, not quietly edited
When a factual error is corrected, the page notes the change: what was wrong, what the correct information is, and when it was fixed.
Reader corrections are welcomed
If you find something on this site that you believe is inaccurate, please let us know. Use the contact page, flag the specific page and the claim in question, and provide the source you believe we should use. We investigate every report.

05 Independence and disclosures
Editorial decisions at Recoverion are made independently. The content is not written, reviewed, or influenced by any treatment center, insurance company, or government agency. Recoverion does not accept payment to alter, remove, or add content.
Current disclosures
- Recoverion is independently owned and operated. It is not affiliated with any treatment center, insurance company, or government agency.
- The treatment centers listed in the directory are included for informational purposes. Listing a center does not imply a commercial relationship. If a business relationship exists with any listed center, it is disclosed clearly on that center’s page and in the directory.
- Any future commercial arrangements (such as a disclosed featured-placement partnership with a licensed treatment center) will be clearly identified as such on every relevant page. Editorial content is kept separate from any commercial arrangement.
- Recoverion does not accept payment tied to patient referrals, admissions, or any per-lead arrangement. Payment structures are flat and disclosed.
