The spread
0.46× – 2.1× estimated
Medicare pays between 0.46× and 2.1× what pharmacies pay, depending on the NDC.
5 labelers share HCPCS J9260 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. (Counted once each though written more than one way: “ACCORD HEALTHCARE INC” and “Accord Healthcare Inc”.)

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 10 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- Which NDC (the 11-digit number on the package) is this? Pharmacies pay $0.702 to $3.1832 per ML for this product, depending on the NDC.
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 10 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 10 mL?
- NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 10 mL in one package for all 3 NDCs of this product (“1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE in 1 CARTON (0703-3675-01) / 10 mL in 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE”), so the card starts at one package: 10 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
