EDITORIAL POLICY

Editorial and Medical Review Standards

Innerbloom Medical publishes patient education about treatments we also provide. That is a real conflict of interest, and the point of this page is to describe the rules we hold ourselves to because of it — how content is written, sourced, reviewed, and corrected.

CURRENT STATUS OF THE SPRAVATO KNOWLEDGE CENTER

Medically reviewed by Andrew Zabel, DO

Knowledge Center articles have been reviewed and approved by Andrew Zabel, DO (last review: 2026-07-27).

Who writes this content

Patient education content on this site is produced by the Innerbloom Medical team. Drafts are built from primary regulatory documents and peer-reviewed literature rather than from other clinics’ marketing pages.

Content is not written by an outside content marketing agency, and we do not publish syndicated or purchased medical articles under our own name.

How AI tools are used

We use AI writing tools to assist with drafting, structuring, and editing content. This is stated plainly because readers deserve to know it.

Our rules for that use:

  • AI output is never published without human review.
  • Medical claims are checked against the primary source cited next to them — not against the model's recollection.
  • Sources are verified to exist and to say what the page says they say.
  • Clinical content is reviewed by a qualified clinician before publication.
  • AI is not used to generate patient stories, testimonials, outcomes, statistics, or credentials. We do not publish those unless they are real and verifiable.

Who medically reviews it

Clinical content is reviewed by Andrew Zabel, DO, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and Medical Director of Innerbloom Medical.

A page is labeled as medically reviewed only after that review has actually taken place. Pages in draft display “Medical review pending” and are marked so that search engines do not index them. Review status is controlled from a single configuration value in the site’s source code, so a page cannot display a reviewed label by accident.

How sources are selected

We prioritize primary sources, in roughly this order:

  • Current FDA-approved prescribing information for the medication being discussed.
  • FDA approval documents, such as supplement approval letters.
  • Required safety program materials, such as REMS program documents.
  • Registered clinical trial records on ClinicalTrials.gov.
  • Peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials.
  • Peer-reviewed systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
  • Major professional guidelines.
  • Manufacturer patient-support materials — only for facts about those programs, never for clinical claims.

Sources we do not rely on:

  • Other clinics' websites, as medical authorities.
  • Press releases, in place of the underlying document.
  • Content whose original source cannot be located and checked.

Where the FDA-approved prescribing information conflicts with another source, the prescribing information controls. For Spravato, the controlling document is the current FDA-approved labeling.

We paraphrase rather than copy source language, and we link to the source so readers can check it themselves.

What we will not claim

Because we sell the treatments we write about, these limits are the most important part of this policy:

  • We do not promise clinical improvement, response rates, or remission.
  • We do not promise insurance approval, coverage, or a particular out-of-pocket cost.
  • We do not state that one treatment is stronger, faster, safer, or more effective than another unless a directly cited source supports that exact comparison.
  • We do not publish patient testimonials, reviews, outcome statistics, awards, or affiliations that we cannot verify.
  • We do not describe any treatment we provide as a substitute for emergency care.
  • We do not imply that every patient qualifies for treatment.

When a fact about our own clinic operations, insurance participation, or policies is not documented and verified, we leave it out rather than estimating it.

How often pages are reviewed

Each article displays its published date, its last updated date, and its medical review status.

We review content when:

  • the FDA-approved prescribing information for a medication we cover is revised;
  • a labeled indication, warning, contraindication, or dosing recommendation changes;
  • a required safety program such as a REMS is modified;
  • a reader or clinician identifies a possible error;
  • at routine intervals, at least annually, even when nothing external has changed.

Substantive medical changes trigger a new clinician review, and the review date on the page is updated accordingly.

How corrections are handled

If something on this site is wrong, we want to know. Email or call us with the page and the issue:

(623) 343-3466

Our practice for corrections:

  • Factual medical errors are corrected promptly once verified against a primary source.
  • A correction that changes clinical meaning triggers a fresh clinician review of the page.
  • The page's last updated date changes whenever content changes.
  • We do not quietly delete a page to avoid correcting it.

Education is not individualized medical care

Everything in the Spravato Knowledge Center and elsewhere on this site is general education. It describes what medications are approved to treat, what published sources report, and how treatment generally works.

It cannot tell you whether a treatment is appropriate for you. That requires a clinician who has evaluated your history, your medications, and your medical conditions. Reading this site does not create a physician–patient relationship, and scheduling an appointment is not a determination that you are eligible for treatment or that insurance will cover it.

If you may be in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
