Purpose

Prepare CAREWare so PDI can automatically add missing NDC codes and activation dates to the ADAP formulary.

Who should do this

CAREWare administrators and ADAP data managers who maintain medication and drug payment imports.

Use this guide when you need to

Set the ADAP medication file path, file name, and setup data import option before uploading an ADAP drug import.

Main warning

Quick path

Central Administration > Administrative Options > Server Management > Common Storage Values > search ADAP >Edit ADAP_Drug_Files. Then Provider Data Import > Import Settings > Automatically Import Setup Data.

 

Before you begin

Download the newest ADAPdrugsimport.xml file here and save it to the designated folder.

Confirm the CAREWare server can access the designated folder.

How to confirm it worked

  • The ADAP_Drug_Files value points to the folder containing the ADAP medication file.
  • The PDI_ADAPAvailableMedFileName value contains only the file name.
  • Automatically Import Setup Data is checked for the ADAP import setting before the import is uploaded.
  • Verified new NDCs are included in imported Drug Payment records for clients.

Troubleshooting and common questions

NDCs were not added. What should I check?

Confirm the file path, file name, server access to the folder, and Automatically Import Setup Data setting.

Should the path include the XML file name?

No. ADAP_Drug_Files is the path only; PDI_ADAPAvailableMedFileName is the file name only.
