NCPDP Formulary and Benefit Configurator
Message format support of NCPDP SCRIPT and NCPDP Formulary and Benefit supports e-Prescribe.
The NCPDP Formulary and Benefit standard defines a file format by which a payer publishes formulary information to a consumer. Consumers are entities such as providers or clearinghouses. The NCPDP Formulary and Benefit standard is batch-oriented, being essentially a data push from the publisher to the consumer. There is no interactive use case. A small batch message flows back from the consumer to the publisher. This indicates the correctness of the file and any errors that may have happened.
Note: NCPDP Formulary and Benefit requires a
license to operate. It is enabled with one of two possible license keys. An individual
cl-mm-ncpdpfab
license key enables NCPDP Formulary
and Benefits. An overall cl-mm-ncpdpall
license key
enables all of the NCPDP formats (Telecom, Formulary and Benefit, and SCRIPT).
