To help ensure the accuracy of claim submissions for
uncommon items, you have the following options:
- Non-Tariff
Generics - Endorsing non-tariff generics requires the pack size,
pack price and manufacturer of the generic.
- Prompt for a trade price when dispensing non-tariff generics with an unknown price - Tick to trigger an automatic prompt.
- Specials - There are a large number of special order items included in your drugs database, they are included
because they are listed in the DM+D and are known as DM+D
specials.
In order to avoid having numerous pack sizes for specials,
the DM+D has chosen to add them in multiples of 1 unit. For example, 1ml,
1g, 1 capsule, 1 tablet etc. This approach avoids having an overwhelming
variety of strengths and pack sizes that would complicate product selection
during prescribing and dispensing. This does however require a slightly different
approach to reporting the price for payment.
When entering the price of a DM+D special, enter the price of the quantity you are supplying
from the suppliers documentation. Normally a special is ordered
and dispensed in full so there is no residual amount remaining. If you are supplying a quantity taken from a pack of a
special that you have bought, for example 30 capsules from a 100 pack
of special, please input the price here for 30 rather than 100 so that
the correct amount is claimed.

contains a section reporting on expensive items. The two thresholds are recorded here and can be updated if required. To reflect the schedule of payments summary, they currently default to :
- Expensive items (Lower Threshold) - £100
- Expensive items (Higher Threshold) - £300
