Human Factors
Aircraft X; ZZZ-ZZZ1. 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure time; briefings and checklists complete; awaiting numbers from Preliminary Weight & Balance. The Ops Agent came down with a NOTAC form requiring Captain signature for two boxes of radioactive material; not in the remarks on the release. I looked up FOM [reference section] Radioactive Pharmaceutical Shipments XXXXXX as Cargo to determine if it was acceptable HAZMAT. I determined from the NOTAC that the Transport Index was in the acceptable range; and that it was stowed correctly. We received an ACARS amendment to the 'Remarks' on the Release 'HAZMAT ON BOARD REFER TO NOTAC (time) XX'. I called the Dispatcher to confirm that; according to what I was reading in the FOM; we were safe and legal to carry the HAZMAT on this flight. He was in concurrence. We got our numbers and departed normally. Approximately an hour into the flight; I was reviewing the NOTAC and realized that although it had the correct 'origin' and flight number; it had ZZZ2 as the destination. The flight was not a through flight. Upon arrival in ZZZ1; I called the Dispatcher to confirm that ZZZ1 was the destination. He looked up the waybill and confirmed that ZZZ1 was the destination. I went down to the A bin and confirmed that ZZZ1 was the destination. I then called the Chief Pilot on Call to relay the information to him and see if he had any questions or additional input.I think there is a certain amount of continuation bias in the way we handle HAZMAT. The Ops Agent assumed that the Dispatcher okayed everything; the Dispatcher assumed that the Ops Agent okayed everything. I am not sure if anyone (other than me) actually looked up the policies regulating our carriage of medical HAZMAT. Introducing this scenario; 10 minutes before departure; greatly decreases the time available to trap errors. I believe that ZZZ2 was a typo. I should have caught it before departure. I caught it after departure; at cruise; where I had more time to examine it without distractions.
Air Carrier Captain reported identifying NOTAC [Notice To Captain] documentation error during cruise. Flight continued to a safe landing where the error was reported to Chief Pilot.
