whether amounts billed for drugs are
appropriate, OWCP must receive 19 data
elements, including the name of the
patient/beneficiary, the National Drug
Code (NDC) number of the drugs
prescribed, the quantity provided, the
prescription number and the date the
prescription was filled. The regulations
implementing these statutes require the
collection of information needed to
enable OWCP to determine if bills for
drugs submitted directly by pharmacies,
or as reimbursement requests submitted
by claimants, should be paid. (20 CFR
10.801, 30.701, 725.701 and 725.705).
There is no standardized paper form
for submission of the billing information
collected in this ICR. Over the past
several years, the majority of pharmacy
bills submitted to OWCP have been
submitted electronically using one of
the industry-wide standard formats for
the electronic transmission of billing
data through nationwide data
clearinghouses devised by the National
Council for Prescription Drug Programs
(NCPDP). However, since some
pharmacy bills are still submitted using
a paper-based bill format, OWCP will
continue to accept any of the many
paper-based bill formats still used by
some providers so long as they contain
the data elements needed for processing
the bill. None of the paper-based or
electronic billing formats have been
designed by or provided by OWCP; they
are billing formats commonly accepted
by other Federal programs and in the
private health insurance industry for
drugs. Nonetheless, the three programs
(FECA, BLBA and EEOICPA) provide
instructions for the submission of
necessary pharmacy bill data elements
in provider manuals distributed or made
available to all pharmacies enrolled in
the programs.
The required data elements are used
by OWCP and contractor bill processing
staff to process paper and electronic
bills for drugs dispensed by pharmacies.
To enable OWCP and its contractor staff
to consider the appropriateness of the
requested payment in a timely fashion,
it is essential that bill submissions
include the data elements needed to
evaluate the bill, such as the NDC
number and the pharmacy’s provider
identification number. To do this,
OWCP evaluates the same data elements
that are commonly evaluated by other
Federal agencies and private health
insurance carriers. If all the billing data
elements required by OWCP are not

collected, the contractor staff cannot
process the bill.
