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
55150-459-10	55150045910	10 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE in 1 CARTON (55150-459-10) / 1 mL in 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE (55150-459-01)Marketed from May 25, 2023

How the 11-digit form is made: The product segment has 3 digits, so one leading zero is added to it (5-3-2 → 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

Administration

Drug administration (CPT 96360–96549)
