Thanks for the info, Question: Does this mean that for non-pharmacy transactions that NDC codes can not be used or that they are just not the mandated code set. Will a payer still have to except them if submitted or can the transaction be rejected for not having j-codes. We have been waiting on this to determine what type of canges we need to make in our processing systems. Any opinion?
