Learn and Implement NCPDP's Named Health IT Standards

The NCPDP SCRIPT Standard Version 2023011, the NCPDP Formulary & Benefit Standard Version 60 and the NCPDP Real-Time Prescription Benefit Standard Vesion 13 are now required by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and adopted by Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP) | Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). This impacts everyone involved in prescribing, processing and dispensing prescription medications.

Attendees had an opportunity to learn from the experts about strategies and resources for implementation to help navigate a successful implementation by the deadlines.
