An NDC, or National Drug Code, is a universal three-digit number that identifies a particular drug within the FDA Directory. When a medication is administered to a patient during a visit, three things are required for the claim: a valid NDC number, a decimal quantity administered, and the units of measurement.  

Follow the steps below to set up the NDC, quantity, and units within RXNT
