The spread
1.2× estimated
Medicare pays 1.2× what pharmacies pay.
7 labelers share HCPCS J1308 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.

$5.70 estimated
$0.61 + $0.09 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $5.70
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 Medicare paid
Medicare Part B’s payment limit for HCPCS J1308, for 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-31, comes to $0.72 for 2 mL, or $0.36 per ML once converted to NADAC’s unit for this product.
Medicare Part B pays for a drug like this only in specific settings, such as a drug given in a clinic or doctor’s office or used with certain medical equipment; most prescriptions filled at a pharmacy are paid by Part D.
The patient’s share under Part B (coinsurance, 20% of the limit, before deductibles and other coverage) is $0.0018 per 0.25 MG.
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.
- What is your cash price for 2 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 2 mL; your package may hold a different amount.
- If you have Medicare Part B: is this drug covered for me in this setting, and what is my share?
- These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
Questions
- Why does this page start at 2 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 00641-6022-25 (“25 VIAL in 1 CARTON (0641-6022-25) / 2 mL in 1 VIAL (0641-6022-01)”) is a carton of 25 vials, 50 mL in all. So the card starts at one unit: 2 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
