When we give vaccines, Humana Military is asking for NDC codes.&nbsp; How to enter NDC codes for vaccines?&nbsp; HCPCS&nbsp; has an option to enter NDC code, but not to ICD9 or CPT4.

Are vaccines not HCPCS codes?&nbsp; I didn’t think NDC applied to CPT4 or ICD9, but maybe I’m confused.

I am not a billing expert… from past 2 years we are sending vaccines as CPT4 codes.&nbsp; For example CPT4 90698 is Pentacel vaccine, CPT4 90670 is Prevnar…&nbsp; We don’t have any issue with any other insurance company including Medicaid, and private insurances.&nbsp; Now only Humana Military asking to provide NDC for vaccines.

OK, suggest you check with the payer to make sure they really want it in the CPT4 codes.&nbsp; If so, some small code changes will be required.&nbsp; I think scanning the PHP code for the string “HCPCS” will turn up the places of interest.&nbsp; Or hire a developer to do it for you.

Based on “Humana Military Healthcare Services” provider handbook, it looks like NDC codes needs to be specified in addition to HCPCS/CPT codes

Based on our understanding, we think that some changes at the HCFA paper claims is also required to support NDC codes .
