The spread

1.3× estimated

Medicare paid 1.3× what pharmacies pay.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Pravastatin Sodium” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

Cost-plus estimate

$9.95 estimated

$4.30 + $0.65 (15%) + $5.00 fee per fill = $9.95

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
