Require a NADEAN for a Diagnosis Code

To comply with the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 statute, certain ICD-CM codes are already designated by default as being related to opioid dependence or addiction treatment diagnosis. When marked as such, any medications prescribed in association with the ICD-CM code will require a provider’s Narcotics Addiction Drug Enforcement Administration Number (NADEAN).

    The ICD CM Code Search window opens.
