What are Medical Claims?
Medical claims are records for drugs administered in a medical or clinical setting and submitted to 340B ESP to meet applicable manufacturer claims data requirements.
Submit medical claims when the drug or NDC is supported for medical claims submission in 340B ESP and the applicable manufacturer requires claims data for the covered entity.
Before submitting, confirm that the NDC is included in the medical NDC list and review any applicable manufacturer requirements.
