Why Coverledger exists

The problem we are trying to fix

Search almost any insurance question and you land on a page that restates the marketing brochure, buries the number you actually needed, and ends in a quote form. The page ranks because it is long, not because it is right. Nobody tells you what a deductible costs you in a bad year, why your premium rose without a claim, or which of the four retirement accounts to fill first.

Coverledger writes the version we wanted to read. Every guide answers one real question, shows the arithmetic, and links to the rule it came from so you can check us.

How a guide gets written

1. Start from the primary source. IRS notices and revenue procedures, CMS marketplace rules, state department of insurance bulletins, and the actual policy or plan language. Not other blogs.
2. Put every number in one file. Contribution limits, deductions and thresholds live in a single data file, not scattered through prose. When the IRS publishes next year's adjustments, one edit updates the whole site. Figures were last verified on 2026-09-01.
3. Show the math. If a guide claims one option beats another, it shows the numbers that make it true and the point where it stops being true.
4. Say what we do not know. Where sources disagree, or a rule varies by state, we say so rather than picking whichever version reads more confidently.

Who writes it

Coverledger is written and fact-checked by an editorial team that reads the primary sources (IRS publications, CMS rules, state insurance department bulletins and actual policy documents), so you do not have to.

Being straight with you: this site does not yet publish a named author with financial credentials. Until it does, treat everything here as well-sourced general education rather than professional advice, and check anything consequential with a licensed professional. When a named, credentialed editor takes over the byline, this section will say who.

How the site makes money

Display advertising and a free newsletter. There are no sponsored rankings, no paid placements inside guides, and no selling your details to insurance brokers. If affiliate links are ever added, a disclosure appears at the top of every page that carries one, not in the footer where nobody reads it.
