How do I know if a story cannot be republished?

Can I use your photos and illustrations?
Images shot by KFF Health News staff photographers or reporters may be available for republication for noncommercial use only with the original story published with the photo(s). KFF Health News often contracts with freelance photographers who usually, but not always, allow their work to be published by our media partners with the original story.

It can be tricky, so the best way to confirm that an image is available for use with the original story is to contact us at NewsWeb@kff.org or use this form.
Generally, if a photo caption credits KFF Health News as the image source, it is likely you can republish that image, but you must contact us.
When KFF Health News licenses editorial photos from wire services such as The Associated Press and Getty Images, we cannot grant republishing rights to those, although we can for some Getty Images illustrations.
