The spread
26.3× estimated
These two figures may not measure the same thing
At 26.3×, the Medicare figure is 20 or more times what pharmacies pay. A gap that large means the two figures may not describe the same unit or product, or the price may have changed between their dates; check what each one covers before relying on the multiple.
Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Dermacinrx Lidocan” / “Lidocaine” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

Cost-plus estimate
$7.30 estimated
$2.00 + $0.30 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $7.30
This is a model, not a price any pharmacy quoted. Shipping is not included. For a pack this cheap, the $5.00 fee is most of the estimate. How it is worked out

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 patch? 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.
Questions
- Why is the comparison with Medicare for DERMACINRX LIDOCAN 5% PATCH 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 Dermacinrx Lidocan / Lidocaine: 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 its NDC as dosage form “PATCH” with route “TOPICAL”. 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.
