Not medical advice
Information about drugs on Med-Code — including label excerpts and pharmacologic classes — is provided to identify products and support coding. It is not a recommendation about diagnosis, treatment, dosing or the use of any product. Clinical decisions should be based on the full product label and the judgement of a qualified healthcare professional.
Not billing, coding or legal advice
Codes, billing units and claim-format notes are general references. Payers set their own rules, code sets change (HCPCS quarterly, CPT annually), and coverage depends on the plan, the setting and the date of service. Verify every code and requirement with the payer and the current official code sets before submitting a claim. Med-Code is not responsible for claim outcomes.
Not an official source
Med-Code is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FDA, CMS, the National Library of Medicine or the American Medical Association. NDC data is published by the FDA through openFDA, which itself advises not to rely on openFDA to make decisions regarding medical care.
Accuracy
Source data can contain errors or lag behind changes, and Med-Code’s own directory can too. Each data page shows its source and when that source was last updated.
Trademarks
CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association. Drug and company names belong to their owners and are used only to identify products.
