MedMoneyGuide is a free resource supported by advertising and affiliate revenue. This page explains exactly how we earn money, what that means for our editorial content, and what protections are in place to ensure our recommendations remain honest.
The Short Version
We may earn a commission when you click links to financial products on this site. That commission is paid by the company — not by you — and it never affects our rankings, recommendations, or editorial evaluations. A product that doesn't pay us is evaluated the same way as one that does.
When you click certain links on MedMoneyGuide and apply for or purchase a financial product — such as a student loan refinance with a specific lender, a disability insurance policy, or a financial planning service — we may earn a commission from the company. This commission is paid by the company, not charged to you. Our affiliate relationships are with companies in the physician finance space, including student loan lenders, insurance providers, and financial services platforms.
MedMoneyGuide displays third-party advertisements on select pages. These are served through advertising networks and are not directly managed or selected by our editorial team on an article-by-article basis. Display advertising revenue helps support the operational costs of maintaining a free, publicly accessible resource.
Occasionally, MedMoneyGuide may publish content that has been produced in partnership with or financially supported by a third party. Any sponsored content is always clearly labeled as such at the top of the article. Sponsored content is written to our editorial standards but reflects the commercial nature of that relationship. Sponsored content is never presented as independent editorial evaluation without clear disclosure.
These practices are expressly prohibited under our editorial policy, regardless of the financial relationship with a company:
Commercial sustainability and editorial integrity are not mutually exclusive. MedMoneyGuide is committed to both. Here is what you can expect:
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255), MedMoneyGuide discloses all material connections between this site and the companies whose products we review or link to.
A "material connection" includes receiving compensation, free products, affiliate commissions, or any other benefit that could influence the content of a review or recommendation. All such connections are disclosed either on this page, within the relevant article, or both.
If you have questions about a specific affiliate relationship or sponsored placement, contact us at customersupport@medmoneyguide.com.
Physicians are a high-value demographic. Student loan lenders, insurance companies, and financial services firms compete aggressively for physician clients — which means there is significant financial pressure on any site serving physicians to allow that competition to influence editorial content.
We are aware of that pressure and have structured our editorial process specifically to resist it. Dr. Dunigan founded MedMoneyGuide as a physician who experienced the consequences of poor financial guidance firsthand. The mission of transparency is not a marketing tagline — it is the reason the site exists.
If you ever believe a recommendation on this site appears to be commercially motivated rather than editorially sound, please tell us. We take that feedback seriously.
