Electronic Prescribing and Financial Information for Practices (ePFIP)

Reconcile Personally Administered Claims.

The following instructions will allow a non dispensing practice to reconcile their claims for Personally Administered items.

The system can provide a breakdown of all items dispensed or personally administered by your practice, it won’t show the amount reimbursed, but can identify the items that you should have been reimbursed for. This will ensure that all items claimed for have been processed by the NHS Prescription Services and payment made accordingly.

After you log into ePFIP select PDPI under ‘Documents You Can View’.

This will then bring up the screen ‘PDPI Data Selector’. The fields and options within the Data Selector should be set as:-

Select Period: Select the relevant month you wish to reconcile.
Select Prescriber: This should be left at Practice level.
Select Chapter: This should be left as All Chapters
Select Level: Click on the arrow at the right hand side , scroll down and select Presentation.
Prescribing Type: Select Total
Prescribing or Dispensing: Select Catalogue of Dispensing
Type of Catalogue: Select Full Detailed
Order by: Select Prescriber
Then click on ‘Submit’

You will then receive a report identifying the drug, no of items, net ingredient cost (NIC) and actual cost. The net ingredient cost is the basic price of the drug, but actual cost is the basic price plus container allowance and fees, minus discounts. The bold (P) after each item is the indicator that it was Personally Administered.
