Enter NDC Information for a Charge

When you enter a charge for a HCPCS or CPT4 code that is set up in the NDC Library, NDC Data for this Charge window appears when the charge is saved. NDC Data for this Charge window allows you to entry NDC information for the charge.

Depending on the number of existing NDC Ids in the NDC Library for the CPT4 code on the charge, the NDC information can be attached to the charge in the following ways:
  • If only one NDC Id exists for the CPT4 code, then the NDC Id automatically attaches to the charge.
  • If multiple NDC Ids exist for the CPT4 code, then an NDC Id can be manually selected for the charge.
  • If no NDC Id exists for the CPT4 code, then an NDC Id can be manually added on-the-fly for the charge.
