Where they actually differ

  • They bill on different clocks. Ascend Medical charges every 8 weeks and OurView Health charges every 30 days. That alone changes what a “month” costs, which is the whole reason this index recomputes every price.
  • One price holds and the other climbs. Ascend Medical’s price is a starting-dose price that climbs; OurView Health’s is the same at every dose. See what titration does to an advertised figure.
  • What they advertise is not what they bill. OurView Health advertises $119 and bills $131.

How we know

Both figures were read on the seller’s own site and recomputed over a 30.4375-day calendar month from the charge and the billing period it covers. Neither is a seller’s own “/mo”. The full working for each — the charge, the period, the arithmetic and the date it was read — is on its own page: Ascend Medical and OurView Health. The method is set out in how we verify.
