National Drug Code (NDC)
Conversion Table
Converting NDCs from 10-digits to 11 digits.
It should be noted that many National Drug Code (NDC) are displayed on drug packing in a
10-digit format. Proper billing of a National Drug Code (NDC) requires an 11-digit number in
a 5-4-2 format. Converting National Drug Code (NDC) from a 10-digit to an 11-digit format
requires a strategically placed zero, dependent upon the 10-digit format.
The following table shows common 10-digit National Drug Code (NDC) formats indicated on
packaging and the associated conversion to an 11-digit format, using the proper placement
of a zero. The correctly formatted, additional “0” is in a bold font and underlined in the
following example. Note that hyphens indicated below are used solely to illustrate the
various formatting examples for the National Drug Code (NDC).
NOTE: Do not use hyphens when entering the actual data in your claim.
