The spread

Medicare pays about what pharmacies pay.
Derived because only one labeler, Otsuka America Pharmaceuticals Inc., is listed for HCPCS J0401 on the CMS crosswalk, so the payment limit comes from that company’s own products under the code, not an average across companies.

What Medicare paid
Medicare Part B’s payment limit for HCPCS J0401, for 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-31, comes to $2,236.80 for 1 unit (EA), or $2,236.80 per EA once converted to NADAC’s unit for this product.
Medicare Part B pays for a drug like this only in specific settings, such as a drug given in a clinic or doctor’s office or used with certain medical equipment; most prescriptions filled at a pharmacy are paid by Part D.
The patient’s share under Part B (coinsurance, 20% of the limit, before deductibles and other coverage) is $1.4912 per 1 MG.
1 of the product’s 3 NDCs have this Medicare figure; the other 2 do not, and the interactive card says why for each.
Medicare's price is not your price.

What to ask at the counter
None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.
- What is your cash price for 1 unit (EA)? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- If you have Medicare Part B: is this drug covered for me in this setting, and what is my share?
- These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
Questions
- Why does this page start at 1 unit (EA)?
- NADAC prices this product per EA, and the FDA NDC Directory lists 1 of its 3 NDCs (it does not list the other 2) as dosage form “KIT” with no route. Only a tablet, capsule, lozenge or troche with route “ORAL”, or a tablet or film with route “SUBLINGUAL” or “BUCCAL”, starts at 30, and this is not one. NADAC’s EA for it may be the whole kit or one item in it, and the files do not say which. So the card starts at 1 unit (EA) rather than guess how many make up a fill; change it to match your prescription.
