A last-checked date is a transparency signal. It tells you when information was checked, not that the provider detail is still unchanged today.

What a last-checked date can tell you

It can show that the comparison row was reviewed against a source at a particular time. That is useful when comparing pages that publish price, support or provider-detail claims.

What a last-checked date cannot tell you

It cannot guarantee current stock, price, delivery, eligibility, offer status or provider process. Healthcare and provider pages can change quickly.

How to use last-checked dates practically

Use them to judge whether a row is recent enough to investigate further. Then check current details directly with the provider before relying on the information.

Why unclear rows should stay out of public tables

If the medicine, pack, price or access type is unclear, it is better to hold the row for review than show a public comparison that looks more certain than it is.
