Uploading LDD/Specialty Drug Lists

Below please find instructions on how to upload specialty and LDD lists in the system. At the bottom of this article you will find a list of tips that may help if you run into errors.

• In RingmasterRx, under Workspace, navigate to the relevant group to begin the process of importing a LDD/Specialty Drug List.
• To import either a LDD or Specialty Drug List, select either the LDD List or Specialty Drug List headers and then click the Import from File button under either section. 

• Click Add CSV File to bring up your file explorer. It’s important to note that the system can only import CSV files. If your file is in a different format (ex. .xlsx, .txt, etc.) then you will need to save it as a CSV file before uploading.
• Once a file has been selected, click Next to proceed.

• The system will read the file and bring up a
  second screen where you can map the required data fields. In this case, the only data field that
  needs to be mapped is NDC Code. To map the NDC code, click on the drop-down arrow to the
  right of the NDC Code field name. This will show you a list of the column headers in your
  document. Please select the header of the column containing the NDC codes. 
• After mapping the NDC code field to the proper column in your file, click the Import button
  to complete the upload.
• If you are replacing an existing list, make sure to check the Overwrite? box on the lower left before clicking Import. If the Overwrite? box is unchecked the system will append the new list to what is
  already stored in the system.

Tips

• The LDD list should contain the NDCs for every drug that will be considered an LDD when applying the pricing guarantees.
• The specialty drug list should contain the NDCs for every drug that will be considered a specialty drug when applying the pricing guarantees. This should include all LDDs.
• When uploading an LDD or specialty drug list the first row of the file should contain the column headers. If there are any rows above the column headers, which sometimes occurs when there is a logo or title, the system will not be able to identify the column headers.
• The NDC column cannot not have any blank values, otherwise the system will give you an error message. This error can sometimes be the result of a footer sitting a few rows below the bottom of the list. If that is the case, please delete the footer.
