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.
Package NDC	11-digit (billing)	Package	Copy
51662-1205-1	51662120501	3 mL in 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE (51662-1205-1)Marketed from Sep 19, 2018

How the 11-digit form is made: The package segment has 1 digit, so one leading zero is added to it (5-4-1 → 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
