NDC Code

 If the procedure code contains a value for the NDC Code field, it will default in this field. Otherwise, type the NDC code for this 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:

 

 

11
Quantity

If the procedure code contains a value for the quantity in the NDC Code field, it will default in this field. If 150 is entered for the Quantity, it will populate as 150.000. If a value is not stored for the Quantity, it will default to '1'.

 

Type the quantity of medication. (must be > 0 and <= 9,999,999.000)
