Where they actually differ

  • They bill on different clocks. Care Clinics charges every 4 weeks and Fresh Day Meds charges every 23 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. Care Clinics’s price is a starting-dose price that climbs; Fresh Day Meds’s is the same at every dose. See what titration does to an advertised figure.
  • What they advertise is not what they bill. Fresh Day Meds advertises $140 and bills $237.
