National drug code billing solution extended

Earlier this year, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan implemented a solution to calculate the NDC quantity for medical drug claims until Nov. 1, 2014.

We’re extending this solution until Feb. 1, 2015, which will align changes with Blue Cross  fee schedule updates. The extension will also allow providers more time to update billing software and address billing issues.

On Feb. 1, 2015, we’ll require the correct NDC and NDC quantity information to be submitted. We’ll no longer calculate the NDC quantity of medical drugs as of Feb.1, 2015.
