Questions

Why is the comparison with Medicare for PANTOPRAZOLE SOD DR 20 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 Pantoprazole Sodium* / Pantoprazole Sodium: 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. Only NADAC NDCs whose FDA route includes ORAL point at this name (14 of the 25 the name join matched); NDCs of another route or with no known FDA route do not.
