The spread
1.2× estimated
Medicare pays 1.2× what pharmacies pay.
7 labelers share HCPCS J0282 on the CMS crosswalk, so its payment limit is an average across all their products billed under that code, not this NDC’s own price.

$1.56 + $0.23 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $6.79
This is a model, not a price any pharmacy quoted. Shipping is not included. For a pack this cheap, the $5.00 fee is most of the estimate. How it is worked out

What Medicare paid

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 $0.0768 per 30 MG.

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 3 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 3 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.
Questions
- Why does this page start at 3 mL?
- NADAC prices this product per ML. In the FDA NDC Directory, 2 of this product’s NDCs are wholesale packs of identical units, so OpenBill counts one unit of each; for example, NDC 00143-9875-25 (“25 VIAL in 1 BOX (0143-9875-25) / 3 mL in 1 VIAL (0143-9875-01)”) is a box of 25 vials, 75 mL in all. So the card starts at one unit: 3 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
