Package NDCs as listed with the FDA, and the 11-digit 5-4-2 form used on claims. The highlighted digit is the added leading zero.

How the 11-digit form is made: The labeler segment has 4 digits, so one leading zero is added to it (4-4-2 → 5-4-2). Formatting the NDC does not by itself make it billable — the product, package and quantity must match what was dispensed or administered, and payer rules apply. Conversion rules
