BILLING UNIT STANDARD
What is the Billing Unit Standard? Click Here for a brief introduction.
DRUG MANUFACTURERS
The use of a standard for the assignment of billing units is critical in most
aspects of drug claims--from the initial submission of a claim and Drug Use
Reviews through the back-end rebates process. As new products and packaging
are developed, it is important that manufacturers be aware of and stay
consistent with the NCPDP Billing Unit Standard. NCPDP WG2 Product
Identification has developed a document that provides a brief description of
the standard. For a copy of the Billing Unit Standard Fact Sheet, Click Here.

QUIC
The purpose of the Quantity Unit Information Communication (QUIC) Forms is to:
- Ensure the integrity of the billing standard.
- Serve as a communication mechanism among the pharmacy delivery system.
- Guide the pricing compendia in data consistency.
- A mechanism for the work group to track issues and a way of communication to the industry that their concerns will be addressed timely and efficiently.
- Submit an electronic QUIC form to the WG2 liaison office with accompanying information. Each QUIC form must be received thirty (30) days before the next work group meeting is scheduled.
- Upon receipt, the WG2 liaison will notify the submitter of the assigned QUIC form number and provide the date that it will be reviewed.
- The copy of the QUIC form request is sent to the Co-Chairs of WG2. The Co-Chairs will coordinate research on the request and the requestor will be contacted and the manufacturer (if different) directly with any questions. It is also placed in the member's only area of the website.
- Work groups during quarterly meeting review the QUIC form. We strongly encourage submitters to attend the meeting to discuss your request.
- After the work group meeting each QUIC form requestor will receive an e-mail from the WG2 liaison that will provide information on their request.
