The spread

Medicare paid about what pharmacies pay.
Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Vitafol-Ob” / “Prenatal Vit 10/Iron Fum/Folic” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.

What it is
VITAFOL-OB CAPLET is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory does not list its NDC as a package of its own, so OpenBill has no FDA names, dosage form or pharmacologic class for it.
The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under one NDC (National Drug Code), 00642-0079-12.
NADAC classes it as a brand-name drug (rate-setting class B), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.
What pharmacies pay
Pharmacies pay $127.03 for 30 caplets (30 × $4.23422 per EA, rounded to the cent), by the CMS NADAC file of 2026-10-14; that price took effect on 2026-01-01. That is what pharmacies pay their suppliers, not what they charge you.
NADAC’s explanation codes for it: 4, carried forward from the previous file; 6, the CMS Covered Outpatient Drug Product File S/I/N drug category was not applied when grouping drugs for the calculation.
This NDC’s NADAC was carried forward from an earlier file (NADAC explanation code 2 or 4), not newly surveyed: it took effect on 2026-01-01. The file is new; the price is not.

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 caplets? 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 VITAFOL-OB CAPLET labelled estimated?
- Beyond what the card shows, the records give these reasons: 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 Vitafol-Ob / Prenatal Vit 10/Iron Fum/Folic: 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 brand name.
