Medicare paid about what pharmacies pay.

What it is
AUVI-Q 0.15 MG AUTO-INJECTOR is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as epinephrine, under the trade name “Auvi-Q”.
FDA gives its dosage form as injection, solution and its route as intramuscular.
The labeler, the company named on the label, is kaleo, Inc.
FDA lists it under 3 Established Pharmacologic Classes: alpha-Adrenergic Agonist, beta-Adrenergic Agonist and Catecholamine.
The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 2 NDCs (National Drug Codes); the FDA directory lists 1 of them.
NADAC classes it as a brand-name drug (rate-setting class B), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.
What pharmacies pay
Pharmacies pay $309.85 for 1 unit (EA) (1 × $309.85103 per EA, rounded to the cent), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2026-07-01. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.
NADAC’s explanation code for it: 2, the latest survey was within 2% of the current NADAC, so the NADAC was carried forward from the previous file.
The NADAC of all 2 NDCs was carried forward from an earlier file (NADAC explanation code 2 or 4), not newly surveyed: those prices took effect on 2026-07-01. The file is new; the price is not.

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 D: what is my plan’s copay or coinsurance for it? The Part D average on this page is not what you pay.
- These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
Questions
- Why is the comparison with Medicare for AUVI-Q 0.15 MG AUTO-INJECTOR labelled estimated?
- Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: The Part D figure covers 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31; the NADAC price is from the file of 2026-10-14. Part D spending basis, as the Part D record states it: Part D 2024 average spend per dosage unit for Auvi-Q / Epinephrine: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's EA. Joined on brand name.
- Why does this page start at 1 unit (EA)?
- NADAC prices this product per EA, and the FDA NDC Directory lists 1 of its 2 NDCs (it does not list the other one) as dosage form “INJECTION, SOLUTION” with route “INTRAMUSCULAR”. 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 a whole package (such as a kit, pen, syringe, vial or inhaler) or one dose inside 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.
