We earn referral fees from some recommended services
The Medicare Compass Guide earns money through affiliate referral fees — when you click certain links and sign up for a service, we may receive a commission from that company. This is how we keep the site free for everyone.
The types of services we may earn referrals from include Medicare Advantage and Medigap plan comparison tools, Medicare insurance brokers, and financial planning services.
What this means for you
Our editorial content is written to help you make the best decision for your situation — not to maximize our referral fees. We will never recommend a service we don't genuinely believe serves Medicare beneficiaries well.
When a link is an affiliate link, we disclose it. If a service doesn't have an affiliate program, we still include it if it's the best option for our readers.
What we don't do
- We don't sell advertising or accept payment for editorial coverage
- We don't let affiliate partners influence our content
- We don't hide affiliate relationships
- We don't recommend services we wouldn't use ourselves
Our sister site
The Medicare Compass Guide is operated by the same team behind The Care Compass (thecarecompass.org), a free long-term care planning resource. Both sites follow the same editorial standards and affiliate disclosure policies.
