Contact us if you need to organise a payment, at: contractorpayments@nhsbsa.nhs.uk
Integrated Care Boards (ICB) commission pharmacy contractors to deliver locally commissioned services. For example, disease management.
You must contact us if you work for an ICB and you need to organise a local pharmacy payment: contractorpayments@nhsbsa.nhs.uk
What you need to do as an ICB
As an ICB colleague, you’re responsible for the calculation and accuracy of the payment information you submit to us. This includes Local Pharmaceutical Committee (LPC) levies.
How to submit
Payment information must be submitted using a spreadsheet. Contact us if you do not have a copy.
You must use separate tabs for each local payment scheme. Each tab must be labelled with the relevant LPA code. A list of LPA codes is available on our payment information webpage under the Local Authorised Payments National Menu heading.
You must submit payment information to us no later than the 7th of each month, at: contractorpayments@nhsbsa.nhs.uk
Levies
Local Pharmaceutical Committees (LPCs) are paid levies. LPCs will tell you which contractors should have a statutory or voluntary levy indicator set, or both.
Your responsibilities include:
- maintaining accurate levy indicators (statutory or voluntary, or both) for all accounts, new and closed, as directed by your LPC
- informing us of the correct levy indicators to apply against the levy type – once input, the levy indicators automatically carry forward monthly unless you instruct us to remove or amend them
- notifying us if the LPC wish to amend levy indicators, such as changing from voluntary to statutory or vice versa
