NCPDP Comment
NCPDP recommends removing NCPDP SCRIPT Standard, Implementation Guide, Version 2022011, as this version was never implemented. NCPDP SCRIPT Standard Implementation Guide, Version 2023011 is the next version named by ASTP/ONC and Medicare. Federally required should be changed to a Yes for the NCPDP SCRIPT Standard Implementation Guide, Version 2023011.
