NCPDP

NCPDP (National Council for Prescription Drug Programs) is an organization that develops standards to improve the sharing of pharmacy and healthcare information electronically. These standards facilitate secure, accurate communication between pharmacies, insurance companies, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders. This helps ensure that prescriptions are processed efficiently, claims are handled correctly, and patient information is exchanged safely, reducing errors and saving time. Essentially, NCPDP creates the rules that enable different healthcare systems and organizations to work together smoothly when managing prescription-related data.
