Contractors are reminded that 30th June 2010 is the deadline for requests for CIP re-pricing checks for the period up to 31 March 2009.

Contractors who think that their payments up until 31 March 2009 have been significantly affected by the introduction of CIP processing only have until 30 June 2010 to ask in writing for a check of a month or months’ prescriptions. After this time no further checking of prescriptions pre 31 March 2009 will be undertaken.

Information on how to make a request for a recheck of prescriptions dispensed within the period up until 31 March 2009 is available on the NHS Prescription Services website

NHS Prescription Services have not yet confirmed time scales for carrying out these checks. Results are not expected to be available before the June cut-off date for requests.
