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.

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.
