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
70771-1970-9	70771197009	12 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE in 1 CARTON (70771-1970-9) / 2 mL in 1 VIAL, SINGLE-DOSE (70771-1970-1)Marketed from Jun 2, 2026

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

Administration

Drug administration (CPT 96360–96549)

When a clinician administers the drug, the administration is reported separately. Codes in this range cover hydration, therapeutic injections and infusions, and chemotherapy or other complex drug administration. The right code depends on route, duration and drug type, and self-administered drugs are not billed this way.
