CMS (Serial Prescribing) Registration Status

There are three possible CMS (Serial Prescribing) registration statuses:

  • Not CMS Registered - not currently registered with a CP for CMS (Serial Prescribing).
  • CMS Registered - when the patient has registered with a Community Pharmacy for CMS (Serial Prescribing), on receipt of the registration message, the patient CMS (Serial Prescribing) status changes to "Registered".
  • CMS Withdrawn - patients can be only be withdrawn from the CMS (Serial Prescribing) scheme by the Community Pharmacy. If you want to stop prescribing a CMS (Serial Prescribing) item(s), you can cancel CMS (Serial Prescribing) items if necessary.

    Important - When patients have left the practice and have a registration status of Transferred Out, they are not automatically withdrawn from the CMS (Serial Prescribing) scheme, they must therefore be inactivated as part of your leavers process.
