🤔 Is Injection, ferric carboxymaltose, 1 mg Overpriced?

Based on the data, CPT J1439 shows a 1.0x variation in pricing across states — relatively consistent by Medicare standards.

Costs have increased 6.1% since 2015. Medicare's fee schedule attempts to standardize pricing, though some variation is expected due to geographic cost-of-living adjustments and practice expense differences.

This analysis is based on publicly available CMS data and does not account for patient complexity, comorbidities, or facility-specific factors that may justify pricing differences.
