The spread

Medicare pays 5% less than pharmacies pay.
4 labelers share HCPCS J8700 on the CMS crosswalk, so its payment limit is an average across all their products billed under that code, not this NDC’s own 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 30 capsules? 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.
