How we ranked these
Same rubric. Weighted toward providers that screen for underlying causes rather than only dispensing. Facts come from each provider’s own pricing, FAQ and terms pages, with regulator and court records where they exist. Scores are produced by a fixed table, so the same facts always give the same score. See the rubric.
