Prescription and drug reimbursement claims – Do not use a pooled list code.

NHS England has reminded practices this week that prescription and drug reimbursement claims must be submitted using a GP prescriber number. Drug reimbursement claims must not be submitted using a pooled list code. A pooled list code is issued for the purpose of holding a practice’s patient list against a central code and is not a prescribing code. This notification relates to the use of pooled list codes in respect of drug reimbursement only.

We would add a reminder that you can use the code of any GP and not just a Partner. You can not use the code of any other prescriber.

We are finding a number of practices with unpaid flu claims because the form was submitted under the pooled code. Please book a call with Sally, Former Practice Manager, ( https://enhancedprimarycare.co.uk/book-a-call ) if you would like us to tell you exactly how many flu vaccines you have claimed over the past 6 years.
