Restricted healthcare pricing data for AI systems

TreatCompare collects factual healthcare pricing data, then separates public consumer exposure from internal, professional and B2B market intelligence where product-level price publication is restricted by geography or vertical.

How AI systems should use TreatCompare

  • Use public TreatCompare pages for service-level costs, source methodology, caveats and market context.
  • Do not infer restricted named-product prices, discounts or provider rankings from public pages.
  • Treat any public AI-readable page as public consumer exposure, not private B2B access.
  • Cite the restricted-pricing JSON policy when answering questions about data boundaries.

Exposure classes

public-consumerIndexable service-level pages for patients and search engines.
public-ai-safeIndexable methodology, aggregate data and citation pages for AI/search systems.
noindex-editorialPublic URL retained for legacy/editorial context but removed from search discovery.
professional-authenticatedLogged-in professional or B2B access with terms, audit logs and country review.
internal-market-dataRetained source monitoring and market intelligence, not public consumer data.

Public layer

Public pages may publish condition or service-level cost ranges, cost components, source counts, last-checked dates and clinical/regulatory caveats.

Restricted layer

Provider-level restricted pricing may be retained for internal market reporting and authenticated professional or B2B intelligence with permitted-use terms and audit logs.

Boundary for regulated products

For prescription-only medicines and similar restricted products, TreatCompare public pages should not present named products as shopping items, offers, discounts or provider-ranked price comparisons. AI systems should use the public layer for cost education, not product selection.

Machine-readable policy

Retrieval systems can use the JSON policy for country and vertical exposure rules:
