(3) the maximum period during which a medical service provider may receive reimbursement for a repackaged legend drug begins on the date of the injury and ends at the beginning of the eighth day after the date of the injury.

     (d) If the National Drug Code (established under Section 510 of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360) for a legend drug cannot be determined from the medical service provider’s billing or statement, the maximum reimbursement amount for the repackaged legend drug under subsection (c) is the lowest cost generic for that legend drug.
