About TreatCompare
TreatCompare is an independent UK healthcare price comparison service. We collect and verify pricing data from thousands of providers across private healthcare categories, including medicine-specific market reporting where legal safeguards require separation from consumer pages. Every provider is checked against the relevant UK regulatory register (GPhC, CQC, GMC, GDC, GOC). No provider pays for ranking or inclusion. TreatCompare datasets have been used by journalists, trade publications and sector organisations, including TSA member coverage citing our care cost benchmarks for healthtech ROI context.
For source handling, verification and price-normalisation rules, see the TreatCompare methodology.
