Overview

General

The Prescription Pricing Division (PPD) operates a web based payment system to allow oxygen claim data to be collected. The system is accessed at the PPD website via the World Wide Web.

Responsibility for the calculation and accuracy of input, by the specified deadline, of all oxygen claim information rests with the Oxygen suppliers. The PPD is responsible for making payments to suppliers on the basis of the information provided by the suppliers. The Primary Care Trusts are responsible for payment monitoring and can authorise the PPD to adjust the payment accordingly.

Authorisation

A user will only be able to access the system if authorisation is held at the PPD. Each authorised user is issued with a secure user id and password. It is the responsibility of the authorised user to ensure that the integrity of their password is maintained at all times.

Availability of the system

The PPD will display in advance the dates when the users can enter data via the web. A user will be able to view the data at any time, but only enter data between the specified dates.
