How we edit and source articles
BuyRTC shares articles, observations, and links to outside material. Each page aims to make clear what comes from BuyRTC, what comes from a public record, and what comes from a third party.
Primary and public sources come first
Pages may draw from statutes and regulations, state licensing agency handbooks and application packets, adopted building and fire codes, federal agency publications such as those from SAMHSA and CMS, and public filings. Where practitioners contribute firsthand experience, we say so and mark it as experience rather than rule.
Every page cites its sources
Guides, topic explainers, and state pages end with a Sources section linking to the original documents. Outside research and industry publications are identified as such; inclusion does not mean BuyRTC agrees with or has verified everything they contain. Unverified numbers are labelled as estimates or left out.
Pages carry a last-updated date
Each research page shows an author byline and the date it was last reviewed. Licensing and code rules change, so the date is part of the content: if it is old, treat the page as a starting point and verify with the agency.
Corrections
When we find an error, ours or a source's, we fix the page, and the last-updated date moves with the fix. If the correction changes the meaning of a passage, we note what changed. Report anything that looks wrong to [contact@buyrtc.com, confirm before launch] or through our contact page; corrections get priority over everything else in the inbox.
Independence and no paid placements
BuyRTC does not publish sponsored articles, paid links, or advertorials, and it takes no fee from any operator, broker, lender, or consultant for coverage. We are not a brokerage, a listings service, or a marketplace, and we are not affiliated with any government or accreditation body. If we ever accept sponsorship or affiliate revenue, that content will be labelled clearly at the top of the page and excluded from research pages.
What we will not do
We do not publish patient-identifying information, a facility's private financials or confidential documents, or predictions about whether a specific license or deal will be approved. We do not give advice; see our disclaimer.
