How the class comparison works

What Medicare paid

Medicare Part B’s payment limit for HCPCS J2919, for 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-31, comes to $6.38 for 1 unit (EA), or $6.375 per EA once converted to NADAC’s unit for this product.

Medicare Part B pays for a drug like this only in specific settings, such as a drug given in a clinic or doctor’s office or used with certain medical equipment; most prescriptions filled at a pharmacy are paid by Part D.

The patient’s share under Part B (coinsurance, 20% of the limit, before deductibles and other coverage) is $0.051 per 5 MG.

Medicare's price is not your price.

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 1 unit (EA)? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• If you have Medicare Part B: is this drug covered for me in this setting, and what is my share?
• These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
