SANDI Charge Code Colors

SANDI codes, and here is their list of colors with their explanations:
  • Teal: These are the equine equivalent of the purple codes. These will route charges to the pharmacy and require a doctor to PIN off. Use these codes when you want something filled by the pharmacy.
  • Blue: These start with EMSTK. These will route charges to equine. Use these codes when charging a patient for a medication they received from your ward's stock.
  • Orange: These start with STK. Use these codes to order your ward stock from the pharmacy. This will result in charging the service for the medication. These have a decreased markup for intrahospital charges.
  • Purple: These are for drugs being ordered from the pharmacy. Use this code if there is not a Teal code for the medication you need.
  • Black EMS: These are your older ward stock codes. The currently active codes should all route to Equine. Use these to charge for items used from your ward stock if there is no EMSTK code.
  • Red: These are outside referral lab tests that typically include a shipping charge to send specimen(s) to the referring lab.
