Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for COMBIPATCH 0.05-0.25 MG PTCH 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 Combipatch / Estradiol/Norethindrone Acet: 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 1 of its 2 NDCs (it does not list the other one) as dosage form “PATCH, EXTENDED RELEASE” 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.
