Payment Rules

As above

...

In order to effectively introduce the HRT pre-payment certificate, it is necessary to prescribe each licensed HRT medication individually, as defined in regulation 56 of the GMS Regulations. This ensures separation from any other medications prescribed simultaneously (HRT PPC guidance | NHSBSA).

To support General Practices in creating separate prescriptions for each item listed in the Part XVI – Notes on Charges of the Drug Tariff, changes need to be made to GP Clinical Systems so that separate prescriptions are automatically generated.

Prescribing: MUST Epic added

E00623 - separate prescription for licenced Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) medication for the treatment of menopause symptoms

As a Health or Care Professional

I want to create a separate prescription for each prescribed licenced HRT medication for the treatment of menopause symptoms

So that each licenced HRT medication for the treatment of menopause is created on a separate prescription

Acceptance criterion 1: separate prescription for each licenced Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) medication for the treatment of menopause symptoms

Given the Health or Care Professional is permitted to create prescriptions 

When the Health or Care Professional selects to create a prescription for multiple prescribed medications

And any of the prescribed medications are licenced HRT medication for the treatment of menopause symptoms

Then a separate prescription is created for each licenced HRT medication for the treatment of menopause symptoms

And another prescription is created for all other medications

E00623 - Additional Implementation Details

Solutions MUST comply with the following when implementing this Epic:

  • Licenced HRT medications for the treatment of menopause symptoms will include all medications listed here

  • Mapping between medication in the list and the Solution to be done using SNOMED codes

Info

E00623 - Supporting Information

  • See HRT PPC guidance and the amendment of regulation 56 of the GMS Regulations for further background

  • See NHS Electronic Drug Tariff Part XVI for the notes on charges across the UK

  • Example scenarios for creating a separate HRT prescription MAY include, but are not limited to:

    • Patient is prescribed a single licenced HRT medication for the treatment of menopause symptoms, then a single prescription is created for that medication

    • Patient is prescribed multiple licenced HRT medications for the treatment of menopause symptoms, then a separate prescription is created for each medication

    • Patient is prescribed a combination of licenced HRT medication for the treatment of menopause symptoms and other medications, then a separate prescription is created for each licenced HRT medication, and another prescription is created for the other medications

  • Suppliers will be asked to provide a change request once the test scenarios are reviewed to effect changes in the Live environment

  • No assurance will be required from CSG or clinical drop in

  • Assurance test plans will be provided by the EPS Clinical Team
