  • Name – PHA04 = DVM that orders the controlled substances for the hospital (typically the medical director)
  • DEA Number – PHA03 = Clinic DEA Holder License number (typically the medical director) (Enter this number before entering in any other information in this section, then click the magnifying glass- usually will autopopulate remaining information)

  • First Name – PRE06 = Prescribing DVM First Name
    Last Name – PRE05 = Prescribing DVM Last name

Prescriptions

  • Rx Number – DSP02 = Prescription number found on the Rx bottle being sent home
    Refill Number – DSP06 = If this is the first time filled, this is 0. If it is the first time being refilled, this is 1, etc.- THIS IS NOT HOW MANY REFILLS ARE AUTHORIZED

  • Days’ Supply – DSP10 = how many days the medication prescribed should last
  • Date Written – DSP03 = Date the DVM ordered the Rx be filled
  • Date Filled – DSP05 = Date the medication is sent home/out of the hospital/picked up
  • Payment Type – DSP16 = Select the option “Patient Paid”

Drug Information

  • The National Drug Code (NDC), as defined by the FDA, is “Drug products are identified and reported using a unique, three-segment number, called the National Drug Code (NDC), which serves as a universal product identifier for drugs.” The Rx number is assigned to a prescription by the dispensing clinic/pharmacy. IF IT IS A COMPOUNDED DRUG, CALL THE COMPOUNDING PHARMACY TO OBTAIN THE NDC NUMBER.
  • – When reporting NDC numbers to the clearinghouse, they must be in a (5)-(4)-(2) format. This means, that the 3-segment number previously described must have 5 digits in the first section, 4 digits in the second section, and 2 digits in the last section. The NDC number can be found printed directly on the bottle of the medication. If any of the 3 sections indicated have less digits than the format requires, you must put a “0” before the number. An example is Gabapentin 100mg Capsules which has an NDC number of 49483-605-50. As we see, the second section only has 3 numbers, and reporting requires it to have 4 numbers. Therefore, when going to report this drug, it would be reported as 49483-0605-50. Entering the “0” before the “605” gives the second section a 4-digit code as required.
  • NDC Number – DSP08 = NDC Number of the medication listed in the 5-4-2 format. If the NDC number is less than the 5 digits, 4 digits, or 2 digits, add a zero to the front of the number. (i/e if a drug NDC is 1234-123-1, it should be entered as 01234-0123-01 ENTER THE NDC NUMBER WITHOUT HYPHENS.
