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.

Cost-plus estimate

$6.79 estimated

$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

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.

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.
