How we keep MedicareAdvantageExplained accurate and trustworthy.
MedicareAdvantageExplained is built to be accurate, current and genuinely useful. This page explains who is behind the site, how our tools and content are produced, and the sources we rely on.
MedicareAdvantageExplained is owned and operated by Chris Terry through Encore Promotional Products. Chris oversees the calculators and content and is responsible for their accuracy and upkeep.
Every calculator uses published, industry-standard formulas and current figures. We test the math, document our assumptions on each tool, and update the numbers when rates or rules change. We do not collect or store the values you enter — calculations run entirely in your browser.
Our figures and explanations are based on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Medicare.gov. Where rules vary by state or change yearly, we say so and link to the authoritative source so you can confirm the latest details.
Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, not to push a product. Some links are affiliate links that may earn us a commission at no cost to you; they never change our recommendations or the math. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it promptly.
