Medicare paid about what pharmacies pay.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Climara Pro” / “Estradiol/Levonorgestrel” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for CLIMARA PRO PATCH 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 Climara Pro / Estradiol/Levonorgestrel: 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 patch?
NADAC prices this product per EA, and the FDA NDC Directory lists its NDC as dosage form “PATCH” with route “TRANSDERMAL”. 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. So the card starts at 1 patch, priced per patch, rather than guess how many make up a fill; change it to match your prescription.
