State Release 107

Guidance for : HCFA and the FDA have been working together for some time to develop a system of identifying non-drug products that erroneously have NDC numbers associated with them. To that end, we will be matching active records on the FDA listed and pending files to the active records on the Medicaid Drug Rebate Initiative (MDRI) file to identify any records that do not match and thus, do not meet the definition of "covered outpatient drug" established in section 1927 of the Social Security Act.
