CostKits publishes educational content designed to help families understand and manage healthcare costs, medical bills, and insurance coverage. Our mission is to make healthcare spending transparent, fair, and manageable for everyone.
All content is created or reviewed by professionals with deep experience in medical provider groups, actuarial science, insurance analytics, healthcare reform, and medical billing operations. We translate complex financial systems into clear, actionable insights that consumers can use.
We reference data from reputable organizations including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Articles include outbound links to credible sources where relevant. Content is reviewed and updated regularly — with each article showing its most recent review date.
Examples of sources we rely on: CMS transparency data, KFF surveys and analyses, and AHRQ quality and utilization research.
We use AI tools to assist with research, drafting, and formatting. However, all final content is edited, fact-checked, and approved by a human reviewer before publication. AI is used to enhance productivity — not to replace editorial judgment or expertise.
Some articles may include affiliate links to products, services, or partners we believe provide genuine value to readers. If you click these links and make a purchase or sign up, CostKits may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you.
We strictly follow all FTC disclosure requirements and clearly label any content that includes affiliate links. Affiliate partnerships do not influence our content topics, opinions, or product evaluations. We only recommend services aligned with our mission to simplify and save on healthcare costs.
CostKits does not accept payments from insurers, healthcare providers, or government programs in exchange for coverage or reviews. Editorial decisions are made solely to serve readers’ interests.
We review published articles at least every 90 days to ensure ongoing accuracy and relevance. When we update a post, the “Last Reviewed” date is adjusted, and major edits are noted transparently.
If we identify or are alerted to an error, we update the content promptly and include a correction note when appropriate.
For editorial questions, corrections, or disclosure inquiries, please contact us at: hello@costkits.com.
CostKits exists to empower families with honest, accurate, and transparent healthcare cost information — free from bias, manipulation, or hidden agendas.
