J-codes

Previously HCPCS Level II has contained a set of codes with a high-order value of "J" to identify some drugs and some other items. The final HIPAA transactions and code set rule states that any J-codes identifying drugs will be dropped from the HCPCS and NDC codes will be used to identify all drug products."
