The spread

0.82× – 2.0× estimated

Medicare pays between 0.82× and 2.0× 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.

What it is

CYANOCOBALAMIN 30,000 MCG/30 ML is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as cyanocobalamin.

FDA gives its dosage form as “injection” and “injection, solution” and its route as “intramuscular; subcutaneous” and “intramuscular”.

FDA lists 5 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., American Regent, Inc. and Vitruvias Therapeutics.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is Vitamin B12.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 9 NDCs (National Drug Codes); the FDA directory lists 8 of them.

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 $0.33 – $0.79 for 1 mL, depending on the NDC ($0.32805 to $0.78707 per ML), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; those prices took effect between 2026-02-18 and 2026-09-23. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.

NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 1, calculated from the most recently completed pharmacy survey; 4, carried forward from the previous file; 5, calculated based on package size.

The NADAC of 3 of these 9 NDCs was carried forward from an earlier file (NADAC explanation code 2 or 4), not newly surveyed: those prices took effect on 2026-02-18. The file is new; the price is not.

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 1 mL?
The FDA package descriptions of this product’s NDCs give different amounts (30 mL, 150 mL, 300 mL). So the card starts at 1 ML; change it to match your prescription.
