Pharmacy Question for the Week of October 12, 2020

Question:

When billing for infusion services, would we need to validate the NCD on a claim for the drug vial?

Answer:

Yes, that is correct. Where a payer requires reporting of the National Drug Code (NDC), you should validate that the NDC on the claim accurately represents the vial for the drug.
