Community pharmacy contractors who have provided the national flu service during the month of September are reminded of the need to claim payment for the service and reimbursement of vaccine costs as part of the end of month prescription bundle submission process.
How to claim for
NATIONAL flu vaccinations:
- Download the claim form – this can be done either by:
- Downloading a pre-populated form from Sonar or PharmaOutcomes which is usually available on the 1st of the following month (This is our preferred and recommended method)
- Downloading a copy of the form and manually filling it out (See Attached Form –
please note: the claim form must be submitted not the invoice)
- You MUST print off these forms and submit them to the Pricing Authority with the pharmacy’s prescription bundle
Please Note: A number of local NHS England teams have provided IT support via PharmaOutcomes or Sonar for recording flu vaccinations administered in pharmacies and for sending an automatic notification to the patient’s GP. However, please note that
use of these systems does not automatically make a claim for payment; the systems may allow you to print off a completed copy of the claim form to include in the prescription bundle sent to the Pricing Authority or they may provide the information to allow you to fill in a copy of the claim form.
To receive payment, the claim form must be submitted to the Pricing Authority with the pharmacy’s prescription bundle no
later than the 5th day of the month following that in which the vaccination was administered.
LONDON CONTRACTORS ONLY
For additional London groups (e.g. pharmacy staff, PPV, Men ACWY, etc) - Automated claim is put through to NHSE London Team by Sonar at the end of each month and payment will appear on the NHSBSA schedule of payments under Service number 15. Contractors
will be able to access the information about what payments to expect from the IT platform, Sonar under the invoices in the London section. We recommend you download your invoices for reconciliation purposes.
