How Can I Enter a New Medication to the Inventory?

To enter a new medication into your inventory, you must first know the National Drug Code (NDC). Once you have the NDC:

• Navigate to Prescriptions, then Inventory from the top navigation
• Click on the plus sign icon in the upper right corner then select whether it’s an NDC or non-*NDC item*
• If it’s an NDC item, enter the number, and Atlas.md will autocomplete the details for you, assuming it’s already in Atlas.md’s NDC database
• From there, you’ll need to provide the remaining required information, including quantity, total price paid, the price markup, cost per pill, price per pill, lot number, expiration date, and what the medication is generic for, if applicable
• Based on the amount you enter in the total price paid field, Atlas.md will automatically calculate the cost and price per pill – also accounting for the price markup value you’ve entered

The lot number and expiration date fields are required to add the medication to your inventory, and is imperative for prescribing and dispensing purposes.

What if the NDC Doesn’t Auto-Complete for Me?

If you enter an NDC, and Atlas.md doesn’t autocomplete the details for you, it could mean one of three things:

• You may have not entered the NDC correctly.
• The NDC you’re entering might not be up to date. As you know, this information is extensive and updated frequently.
• The database might be incomplete. Atlas.md does its best to keep up to date, but the database may be incomplete still.

In the rare instance that you need a medication the system doesn’t have yet, please contact us at support@atlas.md.
