Rivvi reference pages are built from public data files and state facts. They do not give medical advice, recommend plans or providers, or guess at missing data.
How pages are built
- Each page is rendered from rows in a public file: CMS, CDC, FDA, HRSA, the Census Bureau, OIG, NPPES, or a standards body. The source and its data date are shown on the page.
- Copy is short and answer-first: the code, number, or yes or no, then the table it comes from. We do not add filler paragraphs.
- A page whose required data is missing returns a 404 and is left out of the sitemap. A hub with fewer than 3 entries is not indexed.
- Every page links to related pages in the same graph, such as nearby codes, the drug's coverage by state, or the county's plans.
- A page may offer to run the same question in Rivvi. That offer is labeled and never changes the data shown.
The full list of datasets is on where our reference data comes from.
What we never do
- Give medical advice, dosing, side effects, treatment, or a diagnosis. Drug pages state FDA label facts, class, schedule, and coverage counts only.
- Recommend a Medicare plan, an insurance plan, or a provider. Pages describe and compare facts from public files.
- Claim network status. A page never says a provider accepts an insurance or is in network unless it quotes a labeled CMS data field.
- Show patient data. Pages use aggregate public data only.
- Publish licensed text we may not republish, such as AMA CPT descriptors, NUBC UB-04 descriptions, or NCPDP reject codes.
- Guess. A code, number, phone, or schedule that is not in the source file is left off the page.
- Claim that a government agency or standards body endorses a page. Pages name the source; they do not speak for it.
Corrections
- Email hello@rivvi.ai with the page URL and what looks wrong. A link to the source that shows the right value helps.
- We check the page against the source file and the data date it names.
- If the page is wrong, we fix the data or the template and the page changes on the next build. If the source file itself is wrong, we say so and point you to the publisher.
Questions

- Email hello@rivvi.ai with the page URL and what looks wrong. We check it against the source file and correct the page if the page is wrong.
