# Adding an NDC

> Learn how to add National Drug Codes (NDC) to claims in Elation Billing

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to add National Drug Codes (NDC) to claims in Elation Billing.

## Overview

### What is an NDC?

A National Drug Code (NDC) is a unique identifier for medications. NDCs are required on claims when billing for certain injectable drugs, vaccines, and other medications administered in the office.

### Why is Adding an NDC important?

Many payers require NDC information for drug-related claims. Including the correct NDC ensures proper reimbursement and helps avoid claim denials.

<Note>
  The NDC editor can be accessed on ANY Superbill that has at least one claim line.

## Workflow Instructions

### Adding an NDC to a Claim

1. **Click NDC** - On the Superbill's Claim lines, under the **Optional** column, select **NDC**.

   Clicking NDC will open the Charge NDC panel, which allows you to add an NDC without adding it to your Saved NDCs.

### Managing Saved NDCs

2. **View and Create NDCs** - To create new NDCs to be saved and to view your Saved NDCs, select **Saved NDCs**.

   On clicking Saved NDCs, you will see the list of NDCs on file along with the option to **ADD NEW NDC**.

   The Action buttons allow you to:

   * Add the NDC to the Claim Line
   * Edit the NDC
   * Delete an NDC

#### Adding a New NDC to Saved Codes
