Chronic Medication Service (CMS) Registration Status

There are three possible CMS registration statuses:

  • Not CMS Registered - Not currently registered with a Community Pharmacy (CP) for CMS.
  • CMS Registered - When the patient has registered with a CP for CMS, on receipt of the registration message, their CMS status changes to "Registered".
  • CMS Withdrawn - Patients are only withdrawn from the CMS scheme by the CP. If you want to stop prescribing CMS item(s), you can cancel items.
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- When patients have left the practice and have a registration status of Transferred Out, they are not automatically withdrawn from the CMS (Serial Prescribing) scheme, they must therefore be inactivated as part of your leavers process.
