FP69 Summary

The FP69 form - originally known as the green card - has been replaced by an equivalent electronic FP69 Prior Notification transaction between the HA and GP practice. This gives the patient an FP69 status if there is some doubt that the patient is still with the practice. Often it follows an unanswered letter from the HA to the patient.

There is a six months' deadline given for action by the GP. On the patient's FP69 tab on Registration, you can reply either that you want the patient to stay on the list, or request that the patient be deducted. Taking no action means the patient is deducted at the six month expiry of the FP69 status under a Deduction code of 14 Returned Undelivered.

Training Tip - Put a reminder in Consultation Manager for patients with an FP69 flag.
