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

$6.39 – $6.63 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% SUSPENSION is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate.

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

Its labelers, the companies named on the label, are Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.

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

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 6 NDCs (National Drug Codes); the FDA directory lists 4 of them.

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 $1.21 – $1.42 for 1 g, depending on the NDC ($1.21327 to $1.42087 per GM), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; those prices took effect between 2026-08-19 and 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; 4, carried forward from the previous file; 5, calculated based on package size.

The NADAC of 3 of these 6 NDCs was carried forward from an earlier file (NADAC explanation code 2 or 4), not newly surveyed: those prices took effect on 2026-08-19. The file is new; the price is not.

How the class comparison works

What Medicare paid

We don’t know yet; the card above says why.

Which Medicare figure OpenBill compares · How Part D is matched · How Part B is matched

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 1 g?
The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (60 g, 120 g). So the card starts at 1 GM; change it to match your prescription.
