Hypertension Case Finding Service: You can still submit a claim for August activity

Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 15th September 2023

What to do if you missed the end of August deadline

You can still submit a claim for activity delivered before Thursday 31 August for the Hypertension Case Finding Service.

As stated in the Drug Tariff Part VIC Paragraph 37, you needed to input all manual entries for Blood Pressure and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) checks into Manage Your Service (MYS) by 11:59pm on Thursday 31 August. This was to make sure you could claim with your August declaration (August payment schedule, payment date Wednesday 1 November).

If you did not enter your August activity by Thursday 31st August, you will still be able to claim.

How to submit your claim

Any activity that was not entered into MYS manually by Thursday 31st August must be input into your IT supplier system (for example Cegedim, EMIS, Positive Solutions, Sonar).

These claims can be paid alongside your September activity  if input into your IT system by Saturday 30th September 2023.

If, as of Friday 1st September, you no longer provide this service, you will not have access to the required IT system to make your claim for August activity. Please contact mys@nhsbsa.nhs.uk for support. 

Our Provider Assurance team will contact you if we have any queries about duplicate claims.

Requesting earlier payment

If you did not submit your claim before Thursday 31st August, and you require your payment in advance of the September payment schedule due to a cash flow impact, we may be able make provision of funds on your August payment schedule.

To request an earlier payment, you must complete all of the following steps:

  1. Complete the online request form. You must include all unclaimed activity up to 31st August 2023 that you needed to submit via MYS.
  2. Submit the form by Sunday 24th September.
  3. Input this activity via your IT system. This will form part of your September claim. Declarations for September can be made in MYS from Sunday 1st October.

The form must be completed by a registered MYS user (with an NHSmail login) and contain all requested information.

Payment for your August claim will show as a positive adjustment on your August schedule of payments under 'Hypertension ABPM fee adj'.

Payments made in advance on your August schedule of payments will be deducted from your September schedule of payments. They will show as a negative adjustment under ‘Hypertension ABPM fee adj’ alongside the actual payment for declarations made for September.
