New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) mandates that all Managed Care Plans must report National Drug Codes (NDCs) for all physician-administered drugs.

All physician-administered drugs, by all provider types, require a valid 11-digit NDC number and the applicable quantity and measurement. This includes all J-codes and all other applicable drug codes (i.e., chemotherapeutics, therapeutics, etc.).

In either the 837I or 837P format providers must report the 11-digit NDC and its corresponding information, in addition to the procedure code, in the LIN segment of Loop ID 2410 to specify the physician-administered drug that is part of the service described in SV1 forthe 837 format. Providers must also report the quantity and unit of measure of the NDC as outlined in the table below:

• CMS-1500 Box 24A example: NDC qualifier (N4) + NDC (11-digits) + unit of measurement qualifier (UN) + unit quantity (1)
• UB04 FL 43 example: NDC qualifier (N4) + NDC (11-digits) + unit of measurement qualifier UN) + unit quantity (1)

*The following are the only acceptable values forsubmission as a Unit of Measurement Qualifier: • GR (gram) • ML (milliliter) • ME (milligram) • UN (unit) • F2 (international unit)

On an Institutional UB-04 claim you should submit as a corrected claim, which is identified by utilizing the applicable Bill Type ending in ‘7’ to designate as corrected (i.e., XX7, 137, 737, etc.)

On a Professional CMS-1500 claim you should mark the claim as corrected and include the original claim number in Box 22 ‘Original Reference No.’.

All resubmissions/corrected claimsshould include all original claim lines, not just the correction to the physician-administered drug claim lin
