 "methodology": "Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 12 of the 22 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 107 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): entry monthly price, included minutes or calls and the overage rate per provider, reduced to a cost per answered call at a stated volume - the number a practice can actually compare, which no provider publishes because each prices in a different unit; beside it, which providers evidence a chiropractic or medical service on their own site and which state HIPAA cover; repriced-since",
