13 REPORTING NATIONAL DRUG CODES (NDC) Some payers may require you to include the vaccine s NDC number on the claim Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines now require all manufacturers to assign different NDCs to a product s outer carton (unit of sale) and the vial or syringe (unit of use) Check with your payers to see which NDC they prefer, or if they accept either The common format for submitting an NDC is a number that, if hyphenated, would appear in a format. Some drug products are labeled in 4-4-2, 5-3-2, or formats 1 To change these codes to the 11-digit format, a zero is placed within the product code to create the format 1 10-Digit NDC 11-Digit NDC Keep in mind that this information is not required by all payers 1 Reference: 1.
