Hints and Tips for English contractors

Flu reimbursement claims are among the issues tackled in the latest NHS BSA Hints and Tips Issue 57

The newsletter notes that during review contractors may get asked to submit additional information to support 2024-25 flu reimbursement claims.

Throughout the flu season you should keep records of the vaccines you order, receive and administer.  

Hints and tips to help you with your reimbursement claims cover the following:

1. Have a monthly process in place to claim reimbursement and Item of Service fees for administered vaccines by the 5th of the following month. If the number of claims you’re submitting for reimbursement is different to the number of claims for Item of Service fees, you must be able to, if requested, confirm why. 
2. Keep appropriate records and supporting evidence to support your payment claims. You will only need to provide us with this evidence if we contact you.

For dispensing GPs, the latest Hints and Tips also covers:

• end of month batch submissions
• patient declarations
