Medicare
We don’t know yet
No Medicare reference price. Part D: The Part D file flags this drug’s average spending per dosage unit as an outlier, so OpenBill does not use it as a reference price. Part B: This NDC is not in the current quarter’s Medicare Part B NDC-HCPCS crosswalk, so it has no Part B payment limit.
The spread
We don’t know yet
