Complete procedure by country table

Public tariffs are not private self-pay prices or complete episode quotes. Keep each source period, payment component, price qualifier and waiting-time population separate. Historical statistics do not establish current appointment availability. Original source rights apply; see the attribution and source links beside each series.

Each payment and waiting-time series retains its own scope and source period. Public tariffs and private published prices remain separate; check each scope before comparing.
