​​Enhanced Claim Editor Program: Obsolete NDC codes​

May 4, 2023

​The Independence Blue Cross (Independence) Enhanced Claim Editor Program will include automated edits for obsolete National Drug Codes (NDCs).

An NDC is deemed obsolete 30 months after its inactive date. Any claim received with an obsolete NDC code will be denied as incorrectly coded.

Independence's Enhanced Claim Editing Program supports our commitment to ensure compliance with reporting requirements and guidelines endorsed by national and regional industry sources.

We continue to evaluate and review our claim payment policies, industry standard sources, and specialty societies to identify additional claim edits and make changes where necessary.
