Earlier this year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published a rule that will result in a significant update to the NCPDP Telecommunication Standard that pharmacies use to send electronic claims. Included in this update is an expanded NCPDP Processor ID (i.e. BIN) field to accommodate the 8-digit IIN.
Click here for more detailed information about the transition and examples of how to shorten 8-digit IINs that will soon start appearing on patients' insurance cards.
