The spread
2.7× – 3.1× estimated
Medicare paid between 2.7× and 3.1× what pharmacies pay, depending on the NDC.
Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Clotrimazole-Betamethasone” / “Clotrimazole/Betamethasone Dip” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

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 g? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- Which NDC (the 11-digit number on the package) is this? Pharmacies pay $0.17811 to $0.20128 per GM for this product, depending on the NDC.
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 1 g; your package may hold a different amount.
- 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 CLOTRIMAZOLE-BETAMETHASONE CRM 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 Clotrimazole-Betamethasone / Clotrimazole/Betamethasone Dip: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's GM. Joined on generic name.
- Why does this page start at 1 g?
- The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (15 g, 45 g). So the card starts at 1 GM; change it to match your prescription.
