The spread

1.9× estimated

Medicare paid 1.9× what pharmacies pay.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Fluoxetine HCl” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

$7.89 estimated

$2.51 + $0.38 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $7.89

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
