Endorsing Specials
The special items endorsement selection will only be visible if the PRA is set to England or Wales.
Part VIIIB
If you have set
the system to 
Always make me choose, select
the SP or ED
endorsement according to how your specials supplier has manufactured the
product.
-
SP - if they have a MHRA licence or
-
ED - if manufacture has taken place under a section 10 exemption.
Note that the system includes Do
not claim fee. You are unlikely to ever choose this option. It
has been added for the unlikely event that a claim for either fee is not
being made and so to cover NHS counter-fraud requirements.
When the specials endorsement option is selected, the dispensed quantity and product name options are also automatically selected. However, these additional endorsements can be removed.
The completed endorsement will appear in the left hand side-bar.
Non-part VIIIB
There are some additional details that are required for non-part VIIIB items.
You may have already input these details whilst dispensing, in which case the invoice price, manufacturer’s MHRA license number and batch number appears completed here.
If the details have not been input already, these fields
will become enabled when Claim
SP fee is selected and the system detects that the item is not
in the Part VIIIB tariff.
-
Enter the invoice price, excluding VAT. This should be entered as pence without any decimal point.
-
Enter the supplier name.
-
Enter their MHRA license number.
-
Enter the item's batch number
-
Click the OK button when all the details are complete.
The completed endorsement will appear in the left hand side-bar.
If a special item is being endorsed which
is not part of the Part VIIIB tariff then the ED
Endorsement option restricts you to either claim SP or not to claim.
Pharmacy Manager errs on the side of caution with endorsements to minimise losses in remuneration that could be occurred with some prescriptions. Consequently, endorsements that are strictly not needed can be removed.
For example, the Quantity
and Product name endorsements
can be unchecked 
for a Part VIIIB special in order to reduce the space taken in the left
hand side-bar.
If you do this, the system prompts you to follow that rule for the Product namefor all future prescription.
-
Answer Yes or No as preferred.
The result would be an SP endorsement only, which is sufficient in this instance.
Extemps
For either third party items or items manufactured in the Pharmacy under section 10, there is further endorsement information to notify of each ingredient used. This information is also required for non-Part VIIIB ED endorsements if broken bulk is to be claimed for the ingredients.
Pharmacy Manager does not keep a database of ingredients and so cannot manage this process. However, in this scenario, a free type text box will be offered for you to manually enter this information .
-
Select
Claim ED fee
-
Enter the invoice price, excluding VAT. This should be entered as pence without any decimal point.
-
Enter the supplier name.
-
Enter their MHRA license number.
-
Enter the item's batch number
-
Enter the ingredients
The free type edit box for the ingredients will only be visible if ED endorsing is selected and the item is not part of an EPSR2 prescription. Pharmacy Manager does not govern the format of the text but will limit the number of characters to ensure it can fit on a paper printout.
An example could be:
Aqueous cream,198g,123p
Sulphur,2g,10p
The additional information will be written to the database when entered to ensure that records are kept.
-
Click the OK button when all the details are complete.
Electronic claims
For sites in England that are EPSR2 configured, claims for Part VIIIB specials must be made electronically. Consequently, endorsements should be made to ensure correct remuneration.
Non-part VIIIB ED endorsing is out of scope for EPSR2 at the current time. Consequently, the ED option is disabled if the item is an import or is a non-Part VIIIB item that is being endorsed electronically.
