Summary of national service payments including claiming deadlines
<\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n

A\u00a0 payment timetable and deadline tracker to assist pharmacy owners with checking and claiming payments for national services is available on the Payment timetable and deadline tracker page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Timing of monthly payments
<\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n

Early advance payment<\/strong><\/p>\n

As of November 2021, all community pharmacy contractors can receive earlier advance payments, following agreement between Community Pharmacy England and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).\u00a0 Advance payments are made approximately\u00a020 days earlier<\/strong>\u00a0than the current payment timetable for contractors who make their monthly FP34C submissions through\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Manage Your Service (MYS) portal<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0by the 5th of the month.<\/p>\n

The 100% advance payments (for early and current timetables) will continue to be based on the items declared on the FP34C and the latest available Average Item Value (AIV) for that pharmacy, less the value of prescription charges declared on the submission document. Contractors using MYS for submissions must include their paper Account Identifier Document and dispatch it alongside their bundle of paper prescriptions. No advance payment will be received for very late FP34C submissions and an administrative deduction of \u00a325<\/a> may apply if a paper prescription bundle is submitted late to the NHSBSA. The final reconciliation payment date remains unchanged i.e. this will be paid on the 1st working day of the month approximately two months after contractors have submitted the appropriate FP34C form and prescriptions for pricing.<\/p>\n

The timeline on the below illustrates how the advance payment timetable will work for contractors who submit their FP34C by the 5th of each month:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The table below shows the earlier advance payment timetable dates for prescriptions dispensed over the next 12 months. For example, if submission using MYS is secured by the 5th of the month following that in which supply was made contractors will receive an earlier advance payment from November 2021 (starting for October’s prescriptions).<\/p>\n

The table also shows final deadline submission to qualify for normal advance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Normal payment option<\/strong><\/p>\n

An estimated 100% of the normal advance payment for prescriptions is made by the NHSBSA for prescriptions submitted one month earlier (dispensed two months earlier). Payments are made on the 1st<\/sup> of each month, where this falls on a weekend or bank holiday payment will be made on the working day prior.\u00a0MYS is the only route for all monthly submissions. <\/span>Contractors who submit their figures after the 5th of the following month, will NOT<\/strong> receive any earlier advance payments but instead will receive advance payments in accordance with the current payment timetable i.e on or around the 1st of the month following submission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Normal payment option timeline:<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFor example, June payment will comprise of the 100% estimated Advance payment for prescriptions submitted in May (dispensed in April) with the full value of the priced prescriptions less the recovery of the estimated 100% Advance payment for prescriptions submitted in April (dispensed in March).<\/p>\n

An administrative deduction of \u00a325 may apply if a paper prescription bundle is submitted late to the NHSBSA. See here<\/a> for more information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Contingency arrangements for submissions using the MYS portal
<\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n

In exceptional circumstances, where a contractor through no fault of their own is unable to submit the FP34C form through the MYS portal, contractors are advised to contact the NHSBSA either by emailing nhsbsa.mys@nhs.net<\/a> or by contacting the MYS helpdesk number (0300 330 1368) between Monday \u2013 Friday (excluding bank holidays). Contractors should note that this route is available only for emergencies, which are related directly to the contractor (for e.g. connectivity issues\/internet outage in the contractor\u2019s area), and unrelated to the MYS platform itself.<\/p>\n

Contractors, who will be using the email route, are advised that they must apply an electronic signature to the email to secure payment. Contractors, using the telephone route, are advised that the NHSBSA will contact the contractor via their preferred email address (provided to NHSBSA during the call), for them to confirm that the claim the NHSBSA noted via the phone call was correct, and the contractor must apply an electronic signature to the confirmation email to secure payment. An electronic signature may include a scanned image of handwritten signature added to the email sent to the NHSBSA. In case of the MYS platform being down, there will be instructions for contractors on the NHSBSA\u2019s website on what to do.<\/div><\/p>\n
