Standards Compliance Process
NCPDP members have established a process that identifies the steps that should be followed when there is a suspected
misapplication of an NCPDP standard(s). Misapplication of a standard might be the incorrect use of a field, format,
value, or a stated standard use. NCPDP Standards are also protected by copyright laws. For the 'Steps for Standard
Compliance' document, click here. One step in the
process is the submission of a 'Request to Review' form to the Standardization Liaison, Lynne Gilbertson
(lgilbertson@ncpdp.org), after other pertinent steps have been completed. For
the 'Request to Review' form,click here. Members
can review the suspected misapplications filed and their status. Click here to go to the MC
Maintenance and Control page and view the document "State of States Master".
