The spread
2.1× estimated
Medicare pays 2.1× what pharmacies pay.
16 labelers share HCPCS J1885 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.

$6.27 estimated
$1.10 + $0.17 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $6.27
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 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 2 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 2 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 2 mL?
- NADAC prices this product per ML. In the FDA NDC Directory, 11 of this product’s NDCs are wholesale packs of identical units, so OpenBill counts one unit of each; for example, NDC 00409-3796-25 (“25 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE in 1 CARTON (0409-3796-25) / 2 mL in 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE (0409-3796-19)”) is a carton of 25 vials, 50 mL in all. So the card starts at one unit: 2 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
