Pharmacy

Identifies the designated communication point, such as a person, department, or vendor, associated with a specific drug preparation type in pharmacy or PBM systems. Used to route inquiries about compounded drugs, manufacturer information, or formulary exceptions and supports procurement, regulatory, and clinical coordination workflows in healthcare data systems.

The fixed dollar amount a member is required to pay at the point of dispensing for a drug formulation, as specified by their pharmacy benefit plan tier structure. Captured during claims adjudication to determine patient cost-sharing obligations and calculate the net reimbursement due to the dispensing pharmacy.

Tracks the total number of occurrences or units associated with a specific drug preparation type within pharmacy, PBM, or EHR data systems. Used in drug utilization reporting, inventory management, claims analytics, and formulary audits to quantify dispensing frequency, prescription volume, and medication adherence across member populations.

The nation of origin or regulatory jurisdiction associated with a drug formulation's manufacturing source or dispensing location. Used in pharmacy supply chain management, import compliance tracking, and regulatory reporting to verify that formulations meet applicable FDA or international pharmaceutical standards and licensing requirements.

The unique identifier of the pharmacist, clinician, or system user who initially entered a drug formulation record into the pharmacy or clinical information system. Supports audit trail requirements, accountability tracking, and workflow management by establishing a clear record of who initiated the formulation entry.

Records the exact calendar date when a drug preparation type record was first created in a pharmacy, PBM, or EHR system. Used to establish audit trail integrity, support data lineage tracking, and enable time-based filtering in formulary management, drug master file maintenance, and regulatory compliance reporting workflows.

Timestamp recording when a drug formulation record was first entered into the pharmacy or clinical system. Used in audit trails and data lineage tracking to establish the origin point of compounded or manufactured drug preparation records within pharmacy management systems.

The kidney function marker for a drug preparation type. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for formulation management and reporting.

Stores a general calendar date associated with a drug preparation type record in pharmacy or PBM systems. Depending on context, may represent a dispensing date, approval date, or review date. Used in drug lifecycle tracking, formulary audits, and claims processing to align medication records with relevant time periods in healthcare data pipelines.

Captures the combined date and timestamp for an event associated with a drug preparation type in pharmacy, PBM, or EHR systems. Provides precision beyond date-only fields for time-sensitive operations such as compounding timestamps, real-time claims adjudication, medication administration logging, and audit trail generation in healthcare data workflows.

The Drug Enforcement Administration registration number assigned to a specific drug formulation, particularly controlled substances. This identifier links the drug preparation to its DEA scheduling classification and is required for controlled substance dispensing, ordering, and regulatory compliance reporting in pharmacy systems.

Records the date on which a specific drug preparation type was retired, discontinued, or marked inactive within a pharmacy or PBM data system. Used in formulary lifecycle management, drug master file maintenance, and historical claims analysis to prevent erroneous dispensing, ensure coverage accuracy, and support regulatory reporting on discontinued medications.

The dollar amount a member must pay out-of-pocket for a specific drug formulation before pharmacy benefits coverage activates. Used in pharmacy benefit management and claims adjudication to calculate patient cost-sharing obligations based on formulary tier assignments and benefit plan design.

The calendar date on which a drug formulation record was marked as removed or retired from the active formulary or pharmacy system. Used to maintain historical integrity of drug preparation records while preventing the deleted formulation from appearing in active prescribing or dispensing workflows.

A flag designating whether a specific drug formulation has been logically removed from the active formulary or pharmacy catalog. A positive indicator prevents the formulation from being selected during prescribing or dispensing while preserving its historical record for prior claims and reporting purposes.

Provides the full textual explanation of a drug preparation type, including details such as active ingredients, delivery mechanism, and concentration in pharmacy and PBM systems. Used in formulary management, clinical decision support, drug master file maintenance, and member-facing benefit documents to clearly communicate medication attributes across healthcare data platforms.

Contains granular, specific information about a drug preparation type beyond standard classification fields, such as excipient data, compounding instructions, or packaging specifications in pharmacy and PBM systems. Used by data engineers to populate drug master records, support regulatory submissions, and enable precise drug matching in claims adjudication and EHR workflows.

The date by which a compounded drug preparation must be completed and ready for dispensing, or the expiration deadline for a prepared formulation. Used in pharmacy workflow management to ensure timely preparation of medications and compliance with beyond-use dating standards for compounded drugs.

The prescribed length of therapy or the stability window for a specific drug formulation, expressed in days, weeks, or months. Used in pharmacy systems to define the expected treatment period for a medication course or the beyond-use dating period for compounded and repackaged drug preparations.

Designates the start date from which a drug preparation type becomes active and eligible for claims processing, formulary coverage, or benefit application within PBM and EHR systems. Used in date-range filtering logic, formulary tier assignment, prior authorization rules, and coverage eligibility checks across pharmacy benefit and clinical data platforms.
