Hi Frankie, Do you use a catalog number from your wholesaler? We make sure we always update that field and then also match the NDC from the wholesaler vs. Meditech. You could do this by a download from your wholesaler, a download from Meditech drug dictionary and then merge the records in MS Access.. Looking for discrepancies. I've done this with NDC numbers as well and it works quite nicely with a merge in Access to spot those discrepancies.

How about opening up pg2, going to the NDC field, <F10>, and then scanning the barcode to populate the field? It obviously has to be a 100% match, so this is probably a RPh task instead of a Tech.

I have to repair this, but am at a loss as to how I need to go about it. I can not find a reference source to tell me what the primary NDC # should be. I have spoken with MediSpan and Meditech to avail. Now we are in the process of scanning in our alternate NDCs off the items on the shelf and many of these offending items will now have what should be the primary NDC listed as an alternate NDC in the DD. Aside from that, these items will never be updated by our Medispan files quarterly, because MediSpan files items by the NDC number.
