How the 11-digit form is made: The product segment has 3 digits, so one leading zero is added to it (5-3-2 → 5-4-2). Formatting the NDC does not by itself make it billable — the product, package and quantity must match what was dispensed or administered, and payer rules apply. Conversion rules

No drug-specific HCPCS code in Med-Code's directory for this product. The directory is curated and not complete — check the current CMS HCPCS file before billing.
- Administration
Drug administration (CPT 96360–96549)
