and the generic drug requires PA. To be reimbursed at a Brand, enter a value of
�9,� which is Substitution Allowed by Prescriber but Plan Requests Brand; in the
NCPDP field #408-D8. When �9� is entered in NCPDP field #408-D8, it will not be
necessary for �Brand Medically Necessary� to be handwritten on the prescription
by the prescriber. Please call the Pharmacy POS Helpdesk at 1-800-648-0790 for
