The NADAC was calculated using information from the most recently completed pharmacy survey.
The NADAC was calculated based on package size.
The CMS Covered Outpatient File drug category type of S/I/N (Single Source/Innovator/Non-Innovator) has not been applied. Most S/I drugs with the same strength, dosage form and route of administration were grouped together for the purpose of the NADAC calculation and N drugs were also grouped together.
