How to read a medical VA pricing page like an auditor
A pricing page is a provider's most honest document, because it is the one that has to survive a customer's calculator. Here is how to read it.

Find the unit
Hour, week, two weeks or month. Hello Rache: hour. Staffingly: week. My Mountain Mover: two weeks. Virtual Latinos: month. The unit tells you the smallest thing you can buy.
Find the minimum
Often in small print or an FAQ. MedicalVirtual: "Part-time from 15 hours a week." Staffingly: 45-hour package. Wishup: 4- or 8-hour daily options. If there is no minimum stated (Hello Rache), ask — weekly billing implies a schedule.
Read what's absent
Search the page for BAA, HIPAA, replacement, and a country or region. Two of ten pricing pages mention a BAA; five mention HIPAA training; four give a replacement policy; several name no region. Absence is data.
Measure the range
$9.50 is a price. $8–$12 is a range you can budget. $1.6K–$4.4K is a range that depends on the candidate. "From $10" is a floor. "Pricing on request" is a sales process.
Look for prepay
Annual discounts (Wishup) convert flexibility into lock-in. Note them and decide deliberately.
Read the footnotes
Taxes and fees, "full-time only", "part-time quoted separately" (HelpSquad), setup fees. The footnotes are where the published price becomes the real price.
