Reporting a Not Otherwise Classified Drug Code
Where would we place the additional information for a drug reported with a NOC HCPCS code on the claim form, or does it matter?
Answer:
Report the name of the drug, dosage, and route of administration in item 19 of the CMS-1500 or electronic data interchange (EDI) equivalent.
Report the 11-digit National Drug Code (NDC) code in 5-4-2 format, preceded by “N4” qualifier followed by unit of measurement (UOM) in item 24a or EDI equivalent.
