OpenBilldrug price receipt

NADAC week of 2026-10-14

Press kit

OpenBill puts what US pharmacies pay for a drug next to what Medicare pays for it, with a source and a date on every number. This page has what you need to write about it. Every number on it is computed from the data in this build of the site, by the same code as the drug pages.

The headline numbers

The example OpenBill leads with is ARIPIPRAZOLE 10 MG TABLET, 30 tablets: a generic drug whose gap between the two figures is large, but not so large that the two may not measure the same thing.

The spread

13.9× estimated

Medicare paid 13.9× what pharmacies pay.

Part D averages every strength and form sold under “Aripiprazole” into one figure, so it is not specific to this NDC.
