$0.86 + $0.13 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $5.99

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

Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for METOPROLOL TARTRATE 100 MG TAB labelled estimated?
Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: The Part D figure covers 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31; the NADAC price is from the file of 2026-10-14. Part D spending basis, as the Part D record states it: Part D 2024 average spend per dosage unit for Metoprolol Tartrate* / Metoprolol Tartrate: all makers, strengths, forms and routes combined, claim-weighted; gross cost incl. dispensing fees and patient pay, before rebates. Unit taken as NADAC's EA. Joined on generic name. *: CMS says this average reflects multiple routes of administration, which may have different unit prices. All 79 NADAC NDCs the name join matched to it have an FDA route including ORAL. 7 of the 79 NDCs that point at this name are not listed in the FDA NDC Directory as packages of their own; their route was taken from FDA's record for the same product (labeler and product code).
