J3304 is a Part B drug code: Medicare pays an ASP-based rate of $19.28 per 1 mg (2026 Q3 ASP drug pricing file). Total payment per patient depends on the dose billed.
A billed "service" on this code is one 1 mg unit, not one patient visit — that's why the service counts below run high.
What Medicare actually paid per service in 2024, on average: $13.62 (observed payment across all settings and modifiers — not a fee-schedule rate).
