The spread

8.8× estimated

Medicare paid 8.8× what pharmacies pay.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Betadine” / “Povidone-Iodine” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

Cost-plus estimate

$5.08 estimated

$0.07 + $0.01 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $5.08

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 it is

BETADINE 5% SPRAY is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory does not list its NDC as a package of its own, so OpenBill has no FDA names, dosage form or pharmacologic class for it.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under one NDC (National Drug Code), 67618-0160-03.

NADAC classes it as a brand-name drug (rate-setting class B), and marks it as sold over the counter.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $0.07 for 1 mL (1 × $0.07048 per ML, rounded to the cent), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2026-05-20. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 4, carried forward from the previous file; 5, calculated based on package size; 6, the CMS Covered Outpatient Drug Product File S/I/N drug category was not applied when grouping drugs for the calculation.

This NDC’s NADAC was carried forward from an earlier file (NADAC explanation code 2 or 4), not newly surveyed: it took effect on 2026-05-20. The file is new; the price is not.

The NDC

What Medicare paid

Medicare Part D paid $0.62 for 1 mL, at an average of $0.62021 per ML in 2024 (2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31) for “Betadine” and “Povidone-Iodine”, every strength and form sold under that name together (Medicare Part D Spending by Drug, file of 2026-06-25).

That average covers 49 Part D claims (fills, including refills) for 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31, across every maker, strength and form under the name.

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 is the comparison with Medicare for BETADINE 5% SPRAY 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 Betadine / Povidone-Iodine: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's ML. Joined on brand name.
Why does this page start at 1 mL?
None of this product’s NDCs is in the FDA NDC Directory, so OpenBill cannot read how much one package holds. So the card starts at 1 ML; change it to match your prescription.
