How We Source Prices

Every price on this site comes from a published range: consumer cost guides that survey homeowners, consumer organizations, manufacturers and dealers. We open and read each page, record its range, and note the date. A type of product appears only when at least two different publishers give a range for it.

The typical range

Sources rarely agree. The typical range is the middle (median) of their low ends to the middle of their high ends, rounded to the nearest $10 under $1,000, $100 under $10,000 and $500 above. Each cost page shows every source’s own range beside it.

Coverage answers

Medicare answers come only from medicare.gov and CMS documents; VA answers from VA.gov; Medicaid answers from Medicaid.gov. Medicare’s yearly amounts are refreshed every year when they change.

What we don’t do

We don’t accept payment to change a range or a verdict. Partner links, when we have them, are labelled. Nothing here is medical or insurance advice.
