The spread
1.4× estimated
Medicare pays 1.4× what pharmacies pay.
10 labelers share HCPCS J3260 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 50 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 50 mL; your package may hold a different amount.
- 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.
Questions
- Why does this page start at 50 mL?
- NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 50 mL in one package for all 4 NDCs of this product (“25 VIAL, MULTI-DOSE in 1 TRAY (0409-3578-01) / 2 mL in 1 VIAL, MULTI-DOSE (0409-3578-11)”), so the card starts at one package: 50 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
