What Medicare paid

Medicare Part B’s payment limit for HCPCS J1610 and J1611, for 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-31, comes to $105.49 – $134.89 for 1 unit (EA), or $105.492 to $134.892 per EA 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 $21.0984 to $26.9784 per 1 MG.

4 of the product’s 5 NDCs have this Medicare figure; the other 1 do not, and the interactive card says why for each.

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 unit (EA)?
NADAC prices this product per EA, and the FDA NDC Directory lists its 5 NDCs as dosage form “KIT” with no route. Only a tablet, capsule, lozenge or troche with route “ORAL”, or a tablet or film with route “SUBLINGUAL” or “BUCCAL”, starts at 30, and none of these is one. NADAC’s EA for it may be the whole kit or one item in it, and the files do not say which. So the card starts at 1 unit (EA) rather than guess how many make up a fill; change it to match your prescription.
