How we get prices

Kinds of prices

• Paid is what a family paid. It shows as a filled dot.
• Quoted is what a clinic quoted a family. It shows as a hollow dot.
• Verified is a price backed by an invoice we checked. It has a gold ring.
• From a public post is a price someone mentioned in a public discussion. It shows as a dashed dot and links to the post. These prices alone never make a range appear.

When a range appears

A range appears once at least 3 families have shared a price, so no one can be picked out. We round ranges and middle prices to the nearest $100.

How we check prices

• Every form has a spam check.
• A person reviews any price far outside the usual range for that item.
• Clinics can dispute a price with evidence. They cannot edit or delete it.

How we keep it current

• Every price shows its year. Ranges use the last 2 years and leave out older prices.
• Families can edit or delete their prices any time from Your account.
• Anyone can confirm a clinic detail or suggest a fix.
• Details nobody has confirmed in 12 months are marked as possibly out of date.
