Version 14.10

Path: Activities > Maintain Vaccine Inventory

Adding a New Vaccine Lot

1. Click the New button . The Vaccine Inventory Item Detail window is displayed. 

1. Select an option from the Inventory Name drop-down menu. 

1. Select an option from the Vaccine Name drop-down menu. 

1. Enter the NDC ID. The NDC ID must be 11 digits with no dashes. The format of an NDC for claim filing purposes is: 5-4-2. Use the following table to determine the placement of the necessary 0.

If your practice is live with OP and using the PM/Billing and EHR, the NDC ID number for vaccines will pull from Vaccine Inventory for claims. If your practice implements a Split Go Live, meaning PM/Billing will be implemented first and the vaccine inventory in OP will not be used, you need to add the NDC ID numbers for vaccines in the CPT Code table. Once the practice goes live with the Vaccine Inventory, the NDC ID number will be entered for each vaccine lot. The NDC ID number in your vaccine inventory will supersede the CPT Code table when pulling the NDC number onto the claim. Refer to National Drug Code (NDC) Claim Filing Tips for more information.

Note: The Unit of Measure for a vaccine is automatically added to the claim as it appears in the Vaccine Products table but is not visible in the Add/Edit Charges window while converting claims. The accepted Unit of Measures are: F2: International Unit GR: Gram ME: Milligram ML: Milliliter UN: Unit If a payer requires something other than what is recorded in the Vaccine Products table, then that required measure must be added to the NDC Number field while claims are being posted. If you need to edit the NDC Number field, be sure to follow this format:  00006404741 ML2  where 00006404741 represents the 11-digit NDC Number and ML2 represents the Unit of Measure (milliliter in this example) and Quantity (2 in this example).    Keep these guidelines in mind when entering the quantity: For the quantity number, use the following format: 1234.56 (decimal out to two places) or 2 (a whole number) or 9999999.999 (decimal out to three places) or .5 (a decimal). If entering a whole number, do not use a decimal after the number. If entering a unit less than one, do not include a zero (that is, enter .5, not 0.5 or .50). Do not use commas.
