The spread

0.10× estimated

These two figures may not measure the same thing

At 0.10×, 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.

Only one labeler, Biocon Biologics Inc, is listed for HCPCS Q5100 on the CMS crosswalk, but the payment limit file’s Notes for the code say “"lesser of" methodology applied; 8% of reference add-on applied”, so the limit is not worked out from that company’s own sales price alone.

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.

Questions

Why does this page start at 1 mL?
NADAC prices this product per ML. The FDA NDC Directory’s package description gives 1 mL in one package for this product’s NDC (“1 SYRINGE in 1 CARTON (83257-025-41) / 1 mL in 1 SYRINGE”), so the card starts at one package: 1 ML. Change it to match your prescription.
