Methodology

How we source, verify, and retire every price.

Every number Truvela publishes can be traced to a source, a date, and a set of conditions. This page explains exactly how that works.

Last updated 18 August 2026

What counts as a source

We use published, checkable sources: manufacturer list prices and savings-program pages, pharmacy-published cash prices, publicly posted clinic or program pricing, and official government or payer publications.

We do not publish prices sourced from anonymous tips, screenshots we cannot verify, or figures a partner asks us to display.

What we record for every entry

  • The source URL and the organisation that published it
  • The date the price was verified, and who verified it
  • The price type — list, cash, advertised, savings-program, or negotiated
  • Conditions attached: eligibility, quantity, duration, or payment method
  • An expiry window, where the source states or implies one

Verification cadence

Entries are re-checked on a schedule appropriate to how quickly that price type moves. When an entry passes its verification window it is flagged as unverified or removed — it is never displayed as if it were still current.

How we compare prices

Comparisons are normalised to a stated unit and time period so the figures are genuinely comparable, and we show the conditions next to the number rather than in small print. Where two prices are not comparable, we say so instead of ranking them.

What we deliberately exclude

We do not model or display an estimate of what an individual will personally pay, because that depends on clinical and coverage factors we do not collect. We do not publish clinical eligibility criteria, dosing guidance, or treatment recommendations.

Corrections

If a figure is wrong, we correct the page, note what changed, and date the correction. Report anything that looks off and we will respond.

Found a price that looks wrong?

Send the page and the source to support@truvela.org and we will re-verify it.
