About TreatCompare
TreatCompare is an independent UK healthcare price comparison service. We collect and verify pricing data from thousands of providers across weight loss medications, HRT, eyecare, dental, and aesthetics. Every provider is checked against the relevant UK regulatory register (GPhC, CQC, GMC, GDC, GOC). No provider pays for ranking or inclusion.
For source handling, verification and price-normalisation rules, see the TreatCompare methodology.
