The spread
0.09× estimated
These two figures may not measure the same thing
At 0.09×, the Medicare figure is 0.2 times what pharmacies pay or less. A gap that large means the two figures may not describe the same unit or product, or the price may have changed between their dates; check what each one covers before relying on the multiple.
This product’s middle NADAC price, $1.73616 per EA, is 49.9× the middle NADAC price of the 4 other products CMS averages under “Sertraline HCl” ($0.03479 per EA), so the Part D average may mostly describe those products, not this one.

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 30 capsules? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- If you have Medicare Part D: what is my plan’s copay or coinsurance for it? The Part D average on this page is not what you pay.
- These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
Questions
- Why is the comparison with Medicare for SERTRALINE 200 MG CAPSULE labelled estimated?
- Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Sertraline HCl” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC. 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 Sertraline HCl / Sertraline HCl: 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. 136 of 140 NADAC NDCs joined to this name are priced per EA (4 per ML): CMS's average mixes those units.
