Products have been prescribed for patients by VA Physicians. Pharmacy employees do not have the training and/or authority to countermand physician orders. “Brand Specific” products are the same thing as “dispense as written” on a physician prescription. No National Drug Code (NDC) substitutions are permitted. In the VA, Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) has determined that CMOP IDs in the National Drug File (DNF) will most always identify “brand specific” products in the VA PRINT NAME.

This is not always inclusive where a particular NDC has been determined to be “formulation specific” by clinical evaluation performed by the PBM or in the case where only one product in the marketplace has been identified to contain the specific ingredients to match the product code.
