End of NHS Prescription Services transitional arrangements for dispensing doctors
NHS Prescription Services (NHS RxS) reminds dispensing doctor practices that December 2009 payment, for prescriptions dispensed in October, will be the first payment where they may be financially affected if a patient or their representative hasn’t correctly filled in the sections on a prescription form to declare that they are exempt from charge.
This is because the transitional arrangements for the processing of dispensing doctor prescriptions on its new system came to an end in October 2009.
Practices will receive separate notification from NHS RxS from 21 December about how many items they have identified and how many charges they have collected.
NHS Prescription Services’ helpdesk can give Dispex Members guidance on how to sort and submit their prescriptions, 0845 610 1171.
