Request

1. Can NHS BSA provide an update on the outcome to its post payment verification exercise into claims for the community pharmacy hypertension checking service that were made October-December 2022?

2. How many pharmacies has it requested additional evidence from, how many has it recovered overpayments from, and what amounts have been recovered?

On 17 April you clarified:

Thank you for your message. I meant c) which pharmacies overpayments have been recovered from

Response

Question 1

The PPV exercise on the NHS Community Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check Service is currently still ongoing, so we are unable to provide a final outcome.

Question 2

32 pharmacies have been asked to provide additional evidence.

We have recovered overpayments from 2 pharmacies so far, with amounts of £15,210 and £17,610.
