2. 5 + 8 + 3 = 16 x 2 = 32
3. 32 + 12 = 44 (last number is 4, meaning that 4 should be the last number of the NDC)
What does the first letter mean at the beginning of a DEA number?
Level of practitioner
* A, B, C = practitioner (not a pharmacist)
* M = mid-level practitioner
What does the second letter mean at the beginning of a DEA number?
