Pricing Methodology Legend

  • Code 1: The NADAC was calculated using information from the most recently completed pharmacy survey.
  • Code 6: 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. In some cases, however, in calculating a NADAC, the CMS S/I/N designation was not applied when the state Medicaid brand or generic payment practices for these drugs generally differed from the CMS Covered Outpatient File designation.

Understanding NADAC Pricing Data

The National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) is compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This data is derived from random monthly surveys of more than 60,000 pharmacies across all 50 states.


Important Price Distinction:

The prices listed on this page represent the wholesale invoice price paid by pharmacies to acquire the drug. This is NOT the retail price paid by consumers at the pharmacy counter. Final patient costs typically include pharmacy markups, professional dispensing fees, and insurance adjustments.
