Previously, HCPCS Level II has contained a set of codes with a high-order value of "J" to identify some drugs and some other items. The final HIPAA transactions and code sets rule states that any J-codes identifying drugs will be dropped from the HCPCS, and that NDC codes will be used to identify all drug products.
