Orthodontic providers with contracts that started in April 2019 or after must submit their Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) scores on Compass twice per year within the submission windows. You should request and submit results for:
- 10 claims from 1 April and the end of September
- 10 claims from 1 October and the end of March
The current window will close on Friday 30 September 2022.
What you need to do
- Submit a request in Compass for 10 cases you completed in the submission window.
- Send the cases to your chosen independent calibrated examiner.
- Enter your PAR scores in Compass and submit them by 11:59pm on Friday 30 September 2022. Please ensure you leave plenty of time to do this as entries cannot be submitted retrospectively.
