Medicare Part D spending
CMS's Medicare Part D spending dataset reports gross spending on Trazodone HCl of $165.40 million in 2024, across 18,424,765 claims and 3,945,008 beneficiaries. CMS's dataset states spending is gross drug cost and does not reflect manufacturers' rebates or other price concessions. Spending is the total paid by Medicare, plans and beneficiaries for the drug's claims, not what a patient pays.
| Year | Gross spending | Claims | Beneficiaries | Average spending per claim |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $165.40 million | 18,424,765 | 3,945,008 | $8.98 |
| 2023 | $216.39 million | 17,040,644 | 3,666,058 | $12.70 |

Medicaid use by state
CMS's State Drug Utilization Data records, for 2025, how many prescriptions each state's Medicaid program paid for under this drug's packages and what it reimbursed. The 10 states with the largest reimbursement are shown of 35 with data. Reimbursement is before the rebates manufacturers pay states, so it is not a net cost and not a price a patient pays.
| State | Medicaid-paid prescriptions | Medicaid reimbursed | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| CA | 5,962 | $99,752 | Fee-for-service only |
| AZ | 2,124 | $61,207 | Fee-for-service only |
| TX | 486 | $19,567 | All record types |
| NH | 4,582 | $18,328 | Fee-for-service only |
| MN | 503 | $17,191 | Fee-for-service only |
| LA | 219 | $15,202 | All record types |
| OR | 308 | $10,476 | All record types |
| OH | 280 | $9,219 | Fee-for-service only |
| MO | 206 | $7,697 | All record types |
| IN | 725 | $7,548 | Fee-for-service only |
Where the publisher suppresses small managed-care cells, a state's figure covers fee-for-service claims only and understates use (17 state and package figures are marked that way here). A state missing from the table means its figures were suppressed or not reported, not zero use. 775 older-year figures are held and left out of the table.

Medicaid spending
CMS's Medicaid spending dataset reports $86.43 million for Trazodone HCl in 2024. CMS's dataset states spending includes Federal and State reimbursement and dispensing fees and is not reduced by Medicaid rebates paid to the states. Spending is what Medicaid paid, not what a patient pays.
