About SeniorWire

Independent Medicare journalism for the communities that need it most.

Our Mission

SeniorWire exists because Medicare changes affect 67 million Americans, and the people most affected by those changes are often the last to hear about them. Especially if English is not their first language.

We publish data-driven Medicare news in 6 languages — English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean — through 6 cultural editorial desks, each led by an editor embedded in the community they serve.

What We Cover

• Plan risk alerts — which Medicare Advantage plans are at risk of dropping coverage, cutting benefits, or exiting your county
• Rate changes — how CMS payment decisions affect premiums, copays, and out-of-pocket costs
• Drug cost tracking — the $2,000 out-of-pocket cap, Part D changes, and prescription pricing
• Provider access — hospital network changes, bilingual provider availability, and rural access gaps
• County-level data — hyper-local analysis for the counties and ZIP codes where our readers live

Editorial Standards

SeniorWire follows these principles:

• Facts only. We never recommend specific plans, carriers, or agents.
• Source everything. Every claim links to CMS.gov, KFF, or verifiable public records.
• No sponsored content. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage.
• Corrections policy. If we get something wrong, we correct it publicly and promptly.
• Compliance first. We never collect health information. We never sell data.

Our Data Sources

SeniorWire uses 12 government and research data feeds including CMS Plan Finder, Medicare Star Ratings, NADAC drug pricing, CDC county health data, FRED economic indicators, HRSA shortage area data, and KFF research. Our county-level analysis is powered by the same datasets used by CMS itself.

Who We Are

SeniorWire is a project of Strategic AI Architects, a technology company building AI-powered tools for healthcare transparency. Our editorial team operates independently from the business side.
