What does “F6 ready” mean?
How to read this page
Expand any stakeholder on the Home tab to see what applies to them. Select any to see its plain-language definition. Use Filters to narrow the list by group, stakeholder, section or publication.
1 Key readiness steps
The most relevant vF6 steps for that stakeholder. These are key highlights, not a full checklist. A shorter list means fewer role-specific call-outs, not less work.
2 Universal Baseline
Six readiness items that every stakeholder must complete, regardless of role. They always apply on top of the role-specific steps.
3 Key publications
The NCPDP documents that apply to that stakeholder. A Members-only or NCPDP proxy tag means the link needs an NCPDP login. Each title links to the publication, with a plain-language description beside it.
Use this as a starting point, not a certification. Confirm every requirement against the official NCPDP publications and your own trading-partner agreements.
