Medicare

We don’t know yet

No Medicare reference price. Part D: OpenBill did not match this NDC to a usable Medicare Part D spending row. Either Part D has none for it, or the rows that share its name could not safely be tied to it (for example, they mix units, routes or release forms, or the drug is sold over the counter, which Part D does not cover). Part B: This NDC is not in the current quarter’s Medicare Part B NDC-HCPCS crosswalk, so it has no Part B payment limit.


The spread

We don’t know yet

There is no Medicare figure to compare with, so there is no spread.

Cost-plus estimate

$6.64 – $7.51 estimated

NADAC for the pack + 15% + $5.00 fee per fill

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

CALCIPOTRIENE-BETAMETHASONE DP 0.005%-0.064% OINTMENT is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate” and “calcipotriene, betamethasone dipropionate”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name.

FDA gives its dosage form as ointment and its route as topical.

Its labelers, the companies named on the label, are Padagis Israel Pharmaceuticals Ltd and Prasco Laboratories.

FDA lists it under 2 Established Pharmacologic Classes: Corticosteroid and Vitamin D Analog.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 4 NDCs (National Drug Codes).

NADAC classes it as a generic drug (rate-setting class G), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.

What pharmacies pay

Pharmacies pay $1.43 – $2.18 for 1 g, depending on the NDC ($1.43306 to $2.1825 per GM), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2026-09-23. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 1, calculated from the most recently completed pharmacy survey; 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.

Questions

Why does this page start at 1 g?
The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (60 g, 100 g). So the card starts at 1 GM; change it to match your prescription.
