 W !!?5,"Most products with a NCPDP DISPENSE UNIT of EA (EACH) should have the"
 W !?5,"NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER field set to 1 (one) because the VA dispensed"
 W !?5,"quantity is the same quantity that should be billed to the Third Party"
 W !?5,"Insurance Companies. HOWEVER some exceptions require a value different"
 W !?5,"than 1 (one). See examples below:"

 W !!?5,"The Quantity Dispensed above indicates how many 28-day cycles are"
 W !?5,"being dispensed (3). However, the Third Party Insurance Companies need"
 W !?5,"to know how many TABLETS are being dispensed. Therefore, the correct"
 W !?5,"value for the NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER would be 28. The correct quantity"
 R !?5,"Enter to continue:  ",ZZX:60 W $C(13)
 W ?5,"to submit electronically is 3 x 28 = 84 tablets."

 W !!?5,"The Quantity Dispensed above indicates how many tubes are being dispensed"

 W !?5,"Another example is DARBEPOETIN ALFA,RECOMBINANT 150MCG/0.3ML SYR INJ,"
 W !?5,"SURECLICK which is dispensed by the number of syringes used for the "
 W !?5,"prescription. Each syringe contains 0.3 ML of DARBEPOETIN, so the NCPDP"
