Every Wednesday the DWC updates the reimbursement amounts listed in the DWC Pharmacy Fee Schedule. Each Wednesday the changes to the Pharmacy Fee Schedule include the following:
- New NDC numbers with reimbursements
- Existing NDC numbers with new reimbursement amounts
- Deletion of existing NDC numbers and reimbursements
For NDC numbers deleted by a weekly update, the Pharmacy Fee Schedule incorrectly states “No record matches the NDC number with a price date on or before xx/xx/xxxx.” However, those deleted NDC numbers remain valid and reimbursable for their prior effective dates of service. For more information, please see this FAQ: Does the DWC Pharmacy Fee Schedule work for past dates of service?
