    Our Research Methodology

    Where our numbers come from — and how we label the ones no official source publishes

    1

    Official Sources First

    When a government database or national health system publishes a price — CMS NADAC in the US, France's BDPM, the NHS dm+d — we use it and cite the exact entry and its date. Laws, health-policy research and peer-reviewed studies come next, always the specific document.

    • The specific document, never a homepage
    • The year the data describes on every figure
    • Currencies converted at ECB reference rates
    2

    Market Estimates, Labelled

    Many treatments abroad have no official or peer-reviewed price. There we show typical quoted ranges and call them market estimates — not verified averages. Clinic websites, medical-tourism agencies and aggregators are never cited as a source of fact.

    • Ranges instead of invented averages
    • No clinic or hospital names
    3

    Corrections in the Open

    In October 2026 we re-checked every article against the sources it cites — opening each document and finding the number in it. Wrong attributions and outdated figures are corrected and logged on our sources page.
