Pharmacy Module Invoice Data Specification for Non-Supported Trading Partners
Version: 1
Release Date: October 20, 2022
Introduction
This is the generic Purchases data specification for the ControlCheck (formally known as Bluesight for Controlled Substances) Pharmacy Module. ControlCheck Pharmacy Module ingests purchasing data from hospital trading partners such as wholesalers, 503b compounders, etc. along with load data from the hospital’s controlled substances “vault” software. ControlCheck then compares the two sets of data to ensure that all purchases of controlled substances have a corresponding load event for an equal amount.
ControlCheck Pharmacy Module officially supports the trading partners AmerisourceBergen, McKesson, and Cardinal for which there are individual data specifications. The data specification below is provided so that hospitals or unsupported trading partners can create ControlCheck-compatible data loads for their invoicing data. If your hospital or trading partner cannot meet the following data specification, please discuss with your implementation specialist or contact help@kitcheck.com.
<aside> 💡 Note: ControlCheck’s ability to troubleshoot unsupported trading partner data loads is limited and we offer no guarantee that ControlCheck Pharmacy Module will work as intended using data from said trading partners.

File Transport
Invoice files can be uploaded via the ControlCheck user interface. If a trading partner or hospital would prefer to use SFTP they should discuss with their implementation specialist. Trading partners that are interested in utilizing EDI for data transfer should contact the ControlCheck product team for additional information (product-bcs@kitcheck.com**********)**********.
