We all know that it's really important to endorse correctly...getting it wrong will result "at best" in a returned item for clarification, but more likely you will be paid incorrectly...and you might lose lots of money!
In the current environment of drug shortages, contractors are making many more NCSO endorsements...It's so easy to miss off something; and if you do, the people pricing your prescriptions are not very forgiving. In fact they will ignore the NCSO endorsement and pay you the lower DT price!
Indeed a recent PSNC study makes shocking reading!
Only about 40% of contractors bothered to make a NCSO claim...losing lots of money.
Of those claims, only about 75% of the claims were successful...
Of the 25% of claims that were unsuccessful, about 70% were unsuccessful due to endorsing error (AND the remaining claims were not successful due to an error by the prescription pricing service!
So my message to contractors is:-
Make your NCSO claims, and please ensure when you do that you claim correctly!
