The spread

0.38× estimated

Medicare pays 62% less than pharmacies pay.

5 labelers share HCPCS J3010 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.

Cost-plus estimate

$9.11 estimated

$3.57 + $0.54 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $9.11

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 it is

What Medicare paid

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 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 00409-9094-22 (“25 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE in 1 TRAY (0409-9094-22) / 2 mL in 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE (0409-9094-12)”) is a tray of 25 vials, 50 mL in all. So the card starts at one unit: 2 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
