What this is
This is a drug administered by a provider (a HCPCS “J-code”), priced per a defined unit or dosage rather than per prescription.
What affects the price
The billed amount scales with the number of units given, and the same drug can be far cheaper at a retail or specialty pharmacy than administered in a hospital. If it is a self-administered medication, ask whether an outpatient prescription is an option.
