NOTE: InterfaceEDI users can automatically send the description entered in the Medisoft procedure without following these steps. Simply navigate to the "More Settings" tab of the Claim Options window in InterfaceEDI and add the procedure code to the list of codes under the "Send Unclassified Procedure Description" check box.
Some procedure codes are designated as NOC (Not Otherwise Classified) or Unclassified procedure codes. These codes refer to a procedure (often times an injection) that applies to a variety of things. In order to process the claim, the carrier will need a few notes about how the procedure was performed or the name and manufacture of the drug, or DME, when NDC information alone is not specific enough.
