The spread
0.73× estimated
Medicare pays 27% less than pharmacies pay.
4 labelers share HCPCS J1817 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.

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 15 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 15 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 15 mL?
- NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 15 mL in one package for this product’s NDC (“5 CARTRIDGE in 1 CARTON (0169-3303-12) / 3 mL in 1 CARTRIDGE”), so the card starts at one package: 15 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
