formulation percentageform_pct

Numeric ratio value representing the concentration or composition of an ingredient within a specific drug preparation type, stored in pharmacy, compounding, or drug reference database systems. Used in drug master file validation, compounding calculations, and clinical decision support rules across EHR and PBM platforms.

formulation periodform_prd

Defined time span during which a specific drug preparation type is active, approved, or reimbursable within pharmacy, PBM, or formulary management systems. Used to enforce date-range-based eligibility rules, manage formulary lifecycle, and support effective-dated drug master record queries in healthcare data pipelines.

formulation phoneform_ph

Telephone contact number associated with a specific drug preparation type in pharmacy, compounding, or manufacturer reference systems. Used to facilitate direct outreach regarding drug availability, compounding inquiries, or formulary updates within PBM and pharmacy benefit administration workflows and drug master data records.

formulation planform_pln

The benefit plan or coverage tier associated with a drug formulation in pharmacy and formulary management systems. Determines reimbursement eligibility, member cost-sharing levels, and dispensing authorization rules applied to the formulation within a specific insurance or pharmacy benefit structure.

formulation policy numberform_pol_nbr

The insurance policy identifier linked to coverage of a specific drug formulation in pharmacy claims and benefit management systems. Used to validate member eligibility, apply formulary rules, and process reimbursement for the formulation under the appropriate benefit plan and coverage terms.

formulation preferred nameform_pref_nm

The standardized display name selected for a drug formulation in pharmacy and clinical data systems, used when multiple naming conventions exist. Ensures consistent identification of the formulation across formulary management, medication ordering, dispensing records, and patient-facing clinical documentation.

formulation priceform_prc

The cost value assigned to a drug formulation in pharmacy pricing and formulary management systems, reflecting acquisition cost, wholesale price, or contracted rate. Used in pharmacy billing, drug expenditure analysis, formulary tier placement decisions, and member cost-sharing calculations.

formulation primary indicatorform_prim_ind

A flag designating whether a drug formulation is the primary or preferred option within a formulary tier, therapeutic class, or drug group. Used in pharmacy benefit management to drive formulary decision support, prescribing guidance, and claims adjudication rules when multiple equivalent formulations exist.

formulation priorityform_prty

Importance or preference ranking assigned to a drug preparation type within pharmacy, PBM, or formulary management systems. Used to determine preferred drug selection during claims adjudication, formulary substitution logic, and prior authorization workflows where multiple formulation options exist in the drug master reference data.

formulation pulseform_pulse
