The spread

0.30× – 0.88× estimated

Medicare pays between 0.30× and 0.88× what pharmacies pay, depending on the NDC.

14 labelers share HCPCS J3420 on the CMS crosswalk, so its payment limit is an average across all their products billed under that code, not this NDC’s own price.

5 of the product’s 10 NDCs have this Medicare figure; the other 5 do not, and the interactive card says why for each.

Medicare's price is not your price.

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 10 mL?
NADAC prices this product per ML. In the FDA NDC Directory, 5 of this product’s NDCs are wholesale packs of identical units, so OpenBill counts one unit of each; for example, NDC 00143-9620-10 (“10 VIAL, MULTI-DOSE in 1 BOX (0143-9620-10) / 10 mL in 1 VIAL, MULTI-DOSE (0143-9620-01)”) is a box of 10 vials, 100 mL in all. It does not list 5 of this product’s NDCs. So the card starts at one unit: 10 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
