In California One of Common Errors is Incorrect NDC codes for Compounded Drugs


License Renewal
Processing Delayed
Atlantic Associates, Inc., the CURES data collection
vendor, has identified to the Board the four most often
occurring reporting errors. Pharmacies are entering:
1. Invalid NDC numbers;
2. Incorrect NDC codes for compounded
formulations: They should be entering the NDC
code for the main active ingredient and identifying
the prescription as a compounded drug; and
3. Invalid prescriber DEA numbers.
4. Pharmacies are also failing to enter the Method of
Payment: Cash, Medicaid/Medi-Cal, Medicare,
Commercial Insurance, Major Medical, or
Workman’s Compensation.
To ensure proper data collection, those who are
responsible for making CURES entries must make every
effort to enter valid and accurate information.
