2:30 pm – 3:00 pm
The National Drug Code (NDC) is a standard set by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for uniquely identifying drug products marketed in the United States. NDCs must be included in the drug listing information submitted by manufacturers or distributors to FDA. NDCs are utilized by healthcare professionals, dispensing/pharmacy automation, electronic prescribing, and for reimbursement and billing. FDA is proposing to amend the format of the NDC to require 12 digits with three distinct segments. Additionally, FDA is proposing to revise the drug product barcode requirements to permit the use of other data carriers that meet certain criteria.
