There are two types of split claim;

  • Split on date. Required when a pharmacy changes ownership mid way through a claim period.

  • Split by type of script. Required when a pharmacy needs to claim from two separate [payment offices, e.g. Hospital and retail drugs.

Split on date

Any number of claims can be prepared during a batch period, by preparing a New Claim.

E.g. Pharmacy changes hands on 26th of the month.

  • Previous owner makes up a normal New claim on 25th, which will include all scripts from 15th to 25th.

  • New owner makes up normal New Claim on 31st. This will contain scripts dispensed 26th to 31st.

Scripts will not be double claimed.

Split by type of script

A claim includes all claimable scripts. If claims for part of the batch are required from different sources, make up a claim as usual and then make a copy. Send both to the pricing offices concerned, which should both pay for only those scripts that apply to them.
