How we measure

Every number on this site goes through the same three steps. Read the method

  1. 01

    Collect

    Official price documents, national procurement results and providers’ public price pages. For clinic prices in China we will also ask providers directly, always saying who we are.

  2. 02

    Verify

    Each price is stored with its source, the date we saw it and the date we last checked it. Only prices checked in the last 90 days count, and a median needs at least two providers.

  3. 03

    Publish

    Every figure goes out with its source and its date, under a versioned method. We never rank or recommend providers, and we log every correction. Corrections
