NCPDP® is in the process of publishing an FAQ to help pharmacies bill for specimen collection of COVID-19 tests. The FAQ will be published with the newest revision of the NCPDP Emergency Preparedness Guidance v1.8 after the August Work Group. In the interim, NCPDP is sharing this important information with the industry to assist with the processing of COVID-19 tests.
A new Product/Service Identifier has been added to all compendium to be used when there is no product identifier on the product being used to collect the specimen.
NEW FAQ: Emergency Use Product Service Identifier
Question: When the specimen collection product does not have a product ID, what should be submitted as the Product/Service ID (407-D7) for a specimen collection claim represented with the Professional Service Code (440-E5) value of MA – Medication Administered (Specimen Collection)?
Answer: If there is no product identifier on the product being used to collect the specimen during a declared emergency, the Product/Service ID of 99999-0992-11 (COVID-19 Test Specimen Collection) with the Product/Service ID Qualifier (436-E1) of 03 – National Drug Code can be used.
