FAQ

 

Hi Amanda,

Hope you are well.

I am covering for my manager as she is away. And I have a query on Creon.  There is no price listed in DT and I am wondering if I need to add price and manufacturer to the prescription?  Can you clarify for me please

 

 

HI there,

I am very well thanks – hope all is good with you?

If the Creon is written by brand, then it will pick up the list price on DMD (Dictionary of Medicines and Devices)- so no extra info is needed.

If the script is written generically, then it will need pack size, price and manufacturer.

Morning Amanda

I have a question for you?

Do you know the Drug Tariff  reimbursement price for the following item please ?

CoaguChek XS PT testing strips box of 48

Morning,

 DMD is showing £150.52 which is the same price as showing in the Drug Tariff (obviously you suffer clawback on that price)

Hope that helps?

Good afternoon Amanda                                                                                             

Hope you are ok?

A quick question?  if we prescribe an item such as Progesterone and dispense Utrogestan, do we get paid for Utrogestan?

HI there,

I am very well thanks – hope all is good with you?

Progesterone micronised 100mg capsules which is the one which I think you are referring to, is sitting as a category M in the Drug Tariff- you will only get reimbursed the generic reimbursement. If you need to dispense Utrogestan, then the prescription needs to state Utrogestan in the main body.
