The spread

0.83× estimated

Medicare pays 17% less than pharmacies pay.

3 labelers share HCPCS J1740 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.

Questions

Why does this page start at 3 mL?
NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 3 mL in one package for all 2 NDCs of this product (“1 SYRINGE, GLASS in 1 CARTON (55150-191-83) / 3 mL in 1 SYRINGE, GLASS”), so the card starts at one package: 3 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
