Why is the comparison with Medicare for COMPLETE NATAL DHA 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 Complete Natal DHA / PNV Cmb 52/Iron/FA/Omega-3/DHA: 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 unit (EA)?

NADAC prices this product per EA. The FDA NDC Directory does not list its NDC, and its NADAC name (“COMPLETE NATAL DHA”) does not say whether it is an oral tablet or capsule, so the card starts at 1 rather than guess a month’s supply; change it to match your prescription.

What it is

COMPLETE NATAL DHA is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory does not list its NDC as a package of its own, so OpenBill has no FDA names, dosage form or pharmacologic class for it.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under one NDC (National Drug Code), 13811-0010-30.

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 $0.34 for 1 unit (EA) (1 × $0.34359 per EA, rounded to the cent), 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 code for it: 1, calculated from the most recently completed pharmacy survey.

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 unit (EA)? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
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.
