Activity Description : The transition to NCPDP Version F.0 is one of the most significant pharmacy claims standards updates in years, and every home infusion and specialty pharmacy will be affected. This session translates the technical changes into practical business guidance, explaining what is changing, when it matters, and how to prepare without becoming an expert in the standard itself. Attendees will learn what questions to ask their pharmacy system vendors, how to plan testing, what operational and reimbursement teams should expect, and how to coordinate with payers to ensure a smooth transition before the 2028 compliance deadline.
Handouts/Tools: The presentation will include a valuable timeline reference and preparation checklist
