If a pharmacy sends an insurance claim to the insuree with an NDC such as "1144325678", how is anyone supposed to be able to discern the labeler, pkg. code or pkg. type. I'd love to know.

There's no asterisk, so it's anyone's guess.

Sorry, Dan. Since neither 01144 nor 11443 represent valid codes in the NDC database (as of today, December 3, 2007), you may have transcribed the number incorrectly. However, your comment did inspire an update of the article to include a working example of how to determine exactly the information you have requested (assuming, of course, that the provider of the drug in question has complied with the law and registered their product with the FDA). cheers, JimScott 01:53, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
