The comparison in brief

LaSara Medical Group has the higher Cost-Efficiency Index: 58/100 versus 57/100. That is a value comparison under our published methodology, not a measure of medical suitability or a guarantee of results.

The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.
