Helpful Search Tips
SEARCH BY BUSINESS NAME AND ADDRESS
On the NCPDP Tab within the Health Care menu, type the Business Name, Address, City, and State in the appropriate fields, then CLICK on the Search button. This returns records using that address. To loosen the search use less of the address. Name and zip code, name and city and state and name and state each return broader results.
SEARCH BY NCPDP ID NUMBER
On the NCPDP Tab within the Health Care menu, type the NCPDP ID Number in the NCPDP ID Number field, then CLICK on the Search button.
NARROW LIST OF RESULTS
If your search returns a long list of results, we recommend adding the following criteria, if known, in this order:
- City - Entering a city, in addition to the state, further narrows the results to Providers in the specified city and state.
- Zip Code - Entering a zip code narrows the results to pharmacies in that zip code.
- NCPDP ID Number - If you have the ID Number available it is the quickest method to return the entity.
EXPAND LIST OF RESULTS
If too few or no results are returned, loosen the criteria by removing the most precise or uncertain criteria (e.g. NCPDP ID, or zip).
