General Batching Issues
BSO Road Show Presentation APRIL 2018 General Batching Issues Don’t use sellotape, staples or sticky labels Use current HS30 forms and don’t swap Actual number of counted forms endorsed on HS30 HS30’s and address labels can be ordered by –

General Batching Issues
BSO Road Show Presentation APRIL 2018 General Batching Issues Batch all your invoices together and do not attach to prescription forms Ensure that all invoices submitted relate to the prescription forms in that month. Endorse the relevant 11 digit prescription form number on each invoice used for claiming payment. Submit prescription forms in boxes for their security.

The use of Auto-endorsing printers
Ensure the print is at least as dark as the print on the prescription. Ensure the ribbons are regularly changed. Faded codes could result in keying errors. Submissions may be returned where the printing quality is so poor. Impact on the 30 Day Payment Cycle.

Poor Quality Auto-endorsed Codes

APRIL 2018 How to Code and Endorse Effectively

APRIL 2018 Good Coding Always Code Using Up To Date Codes Code Or Diamond Every Item No code or diamond may result in the form being returned to contractor All Supporting Endorsements Must Be Made On Main Body Of Prescription Form Always Code In Same Order As Items Appear On Prescription Form

APRIL 2018 PARTIALLY AUTOCODED Form was partially autocoded Manual Data Entry will punch top code

APRIL 2018 Good Coding Do Not Code Over Or Deface The 2D Barcode Contains Vital Prescribing Information Enables Auto-Coding Improves payment accuracy Code In Black Code Clearly

dm+d Unit Of Measure Pack Alignment

What is the dm+d & Unit of Measure?
Dictionary of medicines and devices is the UK wide reference source for all products. dm+d have defined the unit by which volume of products are measured. Tablets, capsules, grams, ml, doses Health and care organisations, system suppliers and pharmaceutical companies have complied with these standards since 30th June 2017. dm+d populates all the clinical systems Currently we have inconsistent application of unit of measure and need to align these within the payment system to ensure our packs match GP generated packs/quantities e.g inhalers

dm+d Challenges Prescribing by dm+d unit of measure/pack size – not in BSO control Inconsistency due to limitations of previous system Part packs coded Started with borderline substances in April 2017 Moving towards full alignment October 2018

Current methods of validation
This validation falls into 4 categories, is carried out on every prescription item. Has been present in various systems for 20 years Invalid drug code Item over maximum quantity * Targeted checks over £200 Invalid prescriber

Currents methods of validation
Principal validation was enhanced to include: Specific drug codes where payment issues were identified Specific quantities where payment issues were identified This is carried out manually before the payment is made

Validation moving forwards
BSO Presentation 1 September 2015 Validation moving forwards Increase autocoding Full pack alignment to the dm+d pack October 2018 Automated Advanced Validation (AVS) Prescribing / dispensing comparison Quantity checked against pack size and special container status Pharmacy Pre-Reg Probity Training Day

What will AVS mean for me?
Increase confidence of our contractors in the BSO payment systems Putting in place electronic processes to ensure consistent and accurate payment based on BSO payment rules. Factoring Rounding Pack swapping

Inconsistent pack alignment: Examples from April 2018 codebook
Current codebook description Future codebook description Will code over the number of gauze swabs i.e. multiples of 100 BSO have been working towards implementing AVS for all prescribed items ; products such as gauze swabs will become virtual “special containers” and the AVS will protect against payment of part packs.

BSO Presentation 1 September 2015 Post Pack Alignment October 2018 BSO will treat gauze swabs as a special container. This means that AVS will prevent the payment of a part pack in this case and round up the quantity from 80 to 100 automatically - no need for manual intervention Gauze swabs type 13 light BP ply non-sterile x 80 swabs 1181 80 D O Getwell 26/03/18 DR DO GETWELL 1A HEALTH ROAD BELFAST BT17 1DA The AVS rules built to assure correct payment 1234 Pharmacy Pre-Reg Probity Training Day
