Submissions

Should be sent to editor@thedeductible.com in the body of your email, or shared via Google drive.

Submissions should be between 600-800 words, although we sometimes publish longer pieces. The editors are open to opinion pieces reacting to stories and trends in healthcare, medicine, technology and wellness.

There is no hard and fast format for the posts we publish. Some look like TED Talks. Others look like they belong in the New England Journal of Medicine. Others are traditional opinion pieces that would not look out of place in The New York Times or the Wall Street Journal.

While the editors prefer original submissions, we do sometimes crosspost pieces that have appeared in other publications or on smaller blogs.

Deductible Guide posts are between 200-1,500 words and cover new products, companies, research and trends, presenting stories in the news and trends in a factual, authoritative, hopefully entertaining way.

Our goal is to curate the healthcare system and point readers to interesting people, things and ideas around the web. If you’d like to suggest a potential story for us cover or product for us to review, email editor@thedeductible.com
