J3420 is a Part B drug code: Medicare pays an ASP-based rate of $0.68 per 1000 mcg (2026 Q3 ASP drug pricing file). Total payment per patient depends on the dose billed.
A billed "service" on this code is one 1000 mcg unit, not one patient visit. That's why the service counts below run high.
What Medicare actually paid per service in 2024, on average: $0.90 (observed payment across all settings and modifiers, not a fee-schedule rate).
