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 24 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 24 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 24 mL?
- NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 24 mL in one package for this product’s NDC (“24 BLISTER PACK in 1 CARTON (71288-406-82) / 1 SYRINGE, GLASS in 1 BLISTER PACK / 1 mL in 1 SYRINGE, GLASS (71288-406-81)”), so the card starts at one package: 24 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
