FP34C submission deadline extended for prescriptions dispensed in December 2023

With New Year's Day occurring in the FP34C submission window, pharmacies have until the end of 6th January 2024 to submit their December FP34Cs using the Manage Your Service (MYS) portal and to dispatch prescription bundles to NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA).

The earlier advance payment date will remain as four working days from the extended submission/dispatch deadline, so pharmacies that submit their FP34C declaration by the 6th will secure access to earlier advance payments on 11th January.

The requirement to submit electronic Claim Notification (CN) messages or Electronic Reimbursement Endorsement Messages (EREMs) within the first five days of the following month remains unchanged. To avoid any delays to payment for electronic prescriptions dispensed in December, pharmacies must submit the corresponding CN messages or EREMs no later than 5th January 2024.
