NDC Number Setup

If your practice needs to add National Drug Codes (NDC's) to report to insurance carriers, you will need to add the NDC code to the injection procedure code(s) and use the NDC Attachment when posting procedures. An NDC Attachment will automatically be created for procedure codes that contain a value for the NDC Code field or that have the NDC Required check box selected, when they are entered in Procedure Entry.

Set up the Procedure Code(s)
Complete the following steps to set up the NDC's.

From Tables, Procedure Code Table, Maintain Procedure Codes:
Select an injection procedure code, select the Requires NDC check box and type the NDC in the NDC Code field in every applicable injection procedure. Proper billing of an NDC requires an 11-digit number in a 5-4-2 format. Converting NDC codes from a 10-digit to an 11-digit format requires a strategically placed zero, dependent upon the 10-digit format. The following table shows common 10-digit NDC formats indicated on packaging and the associated conversion to an 11-digit format, using the proper placement of a zero. The additional “0” is in a bold font and underlined in the following examples:
If you want the NDC Attachment in Procedure Entry to automatically populate any or all of the NDC data fields, enter the data pieces you want separated by forward slashes in the format of 'NDC/Unit of Measure/Quantity of Medication' (NDC-11 characters, Unit of Measure-2 characters, and Quantity of Medication-up to 11 characters.

When you have completed entering the NDC information for the injection code(s), you are ready to use the NDC Attachment in Procedure Entry.
