How the class comparison works

What Medicare paid

Medicare Part B’s payment limit for HCPCS J7613, for 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-31, comes to $0.06 for 1 mL, or $0.055 to $0.05544 per ML once converted to NADAC’s unit for this product.

Medicare Part B pays for an inhaled drug like this only in specific circumstances, such as when it is used with medical equipment like a nebulizer; 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 $0.0132 per 1 MG.

16 of the product’s 19 NDCs have this Medicare figure; the other 3 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 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• Which NDC (the 11-digit number on the package) is this? Pharmacies pay $0.06044 to $0.06651 per ML for this product, depending on the NDC.
• How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 1 mL; your package may hold a different amount.
• 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.
