DATA DICTIONARY
I. INTRODUCTION
Presented in this document are the data element definitions that have been defined and approved by the Maintenance and Control (MC) Work Group of the National Council for
Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP). The definitions support the various file and telecommunication formats that have been approved by the NCPDP membership.
The data element definitions should be used by all persons who want to know when, where and how specific data elements are used in the approved file formats. The NCPDP
Standards Matrix document is an important reference for use. It contains a high-level overview of the latest version/release and/or the most commonly used of the standards
and implementation guides, as well as NCPDP’s Data Dictionary and External Code List. This document provides version/release/publication reference charts for approved and
draft NCPDP standards/implementation guides.
The External Code List (ECL) contains values for data elements within the NCPDP Standards. All Data Elements whose values reside in the ECL will have an indicator of “See ECL” in
the Values Column of this document. Please refer to the appropriate ECL publication.
Note: Data elements within the Claims Billing Tape Format, Diskette Billing Format, Claim Payment Tape Format, and Member Enrollment Standard have been excluded from the
ECL, with infrequent exceptions, since these standards are not presently maintained or updated. The few exceptions would be for those data elements that have shared code lists
with data elements included in the ECL for the maintained NCPDP Standards.
Various appendices provide lists of reject (and adjustment) codes. In addition, a cross-reference for Field Name changes has been provided. Reject Codes for the
Telecommunication Standard are listed in the External Code List (ECL) document.
NOTE: APPENDIX C PUBLICATION MODIFICATIONS PROVIDES A LISTING OF ALL APPROVED DATA ELEMENT CHANGES FOR ALL NCPDP STANDARDS. THE UPDATES INCLUDE
ALL MODIFICATIONS MADE SINCE THE LAST QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE DATA DICTIONARY AND APPEAR IN BOLD PRINT.
Changes or additions to the NCPDP Data Dictionary and/or External Code List should be submitted on a Data Element Request Form (DERF). The process for submitting, reviewing,
approving and implementing data element changes is described in this document. For a copy of the most current DERF form please contact the Council office or see
www.ncpdp.org. Refer to the DERF for instructions on completing and submitting the form.
The MC Maintenance and Control Work Group meets quarterly at the Joint Technical Work Group Meetings to consider requests for the addition and/or modification of data
elements. Additions and modifications that have been approved by the membership at large will be published quarterly. NCPDP pledges its commitment to maintain, modify,
enhance and disseminate information pertaining to the Data Dictionary consistent with the goals of the organization and its membership.
"N" = Unsigned Numeric, always right justified, zero filled and when used for dollar fields, have default values of zeros.
Example: 9(7)v999 represents 9999999.999
"D" = Signed Numeric, sign is internal and trailing (see section Internal Representation of Overpunch Signs), zero always positive, always right justified, zero filled dollar-
cents amount with 2 positions to the right of the implied decimal point, all other positions to the left of the implied decimal point and when used for dollar fields, have
default values of zeros.
Example: "D" fields of length 8 represent $$$$$$cc
"A/N" = Alpha/Numeric, upper case when alpha, always left justified, space filled, upper case, printable characters and default values of spaces
Example: X(14) represents “1234ABC44bbbbb“
“NX” = Numeric Extended, are always right justified and zero filled, with the right most position reserved for the sign. The field must be blank when not reported. The
symbol “b” indicates a “blank” or a “positive” value. The symbol “-“ indicates a negative value. Zeros represent a valid numeric value and do not mean “null”. All decimals
are implied not explicit.
Example: 9999v99- represents a negative 9999.99
9999v99b represents a positive 9999.99
The decimal point always appears if it is at any place other than the right most position. If the value is an integer (decimal point at the right most position), the decimal
point should be omitted. For negative values, the leading minus sign (-) is used. Absence of a sign indicates a positive value. The plus sign (+) should not be transmitted.
Leading zeros should be suppressed unless necessary to satisfy a minimum length requirement. Trailing zeros following the decimal point should be suppressed unless
necessary to indicate precision. The use of triad separators (for example, the commas in 1,000,000, 000,000) is prohibited. The length of a decimal type data element
does not include the decimal point. A value of 12345.67 is valid in a field defined with a maximum length of 7.
There are certain data fields that allow an explicit decimal point in the Alpha/Numeric representation. See Implementation Guide for decimal discussion for specific data
elements.
an = a sequence of characters, alphanumeric that must have at least 1 nonblank character, no constraint to length of the content (“string”). When length is constrained,
is shown as x(#) such as x(15), x(140).
n = numeric in the allowable values that must be sent with at least one valid value. Shown as 9(18), 9(2).
xsd:boolean = the type of an expression with two possible values, "True" and "False".
xsd:BooleanCode = NCPDP-defined backwards compatible type of expression with two possible values, “Y” and “N”.
xsd:datetime - Format = CCYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
xsd:date - Format = CCYY-MM-DD
Format Limitations/Requirements
