Where the local data comes from
SakeOf local guides combine postal geography with live research from authoritative healthcare and government sources. We keep the source layer separate from the consumer page so the guide stays readable while the evidence remains reviewable.
ZIP geography
Postal code place names, counties, coordinates, and related geography may include data from GeoNames. GeoNames postal code data is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.
Healthcare research
Local guide research favors current primary and authoritative sources such as federal and state government agencies, CMS, HHS, state health departments, official health systems, official provider resources, and other first-party healthcare sources. The sources used for an individual guide are listed on that guide.
SakeOf information
SakeOf product and program statements come from SakeOf's approved knowledge sources rather than local web research. Local guides are educational and do not replace the Membership Handbook or current program documents.
