Do Croatian dental clinics charge foreigners more?
Short answer
The typical treatment costs the same in both languages (median ratio 1.00). Still, 9 of 19 clinics that publish price lists in Croatian and in a foreign language charge more than 5 % more for at least one treatment in the foreign list. As of 18 October 2026.

Sample and method
The main finding compares each clinic with itself: its price list in Croatian and its price list in a foreign language, treatment by treatment. The table shows medians of whole groups (number of clinics in brackets), so the groups are not necessarily the same clinics. We detect the language of a price list from the page text.
