How long do I have to submit an FP17 claim?

You have two months from the Date of Completion (DoC) of a course of NHS treatment to submit your FP17 to us; we call this the 'Two Month Rule'. If we receive the claim after this, the UDA will be disallowed and the claim will be marked as 'Late Submitted Claim' on your schedule.
If you have missed the cut off for a claim, you are legally still required to submit this as there's financial value attached to the claim and the treatment must be recorded.

Orthodontic claims and Failed To Return (FTR) (incomplete) courses of treatment aren't subject to the two month rule however, we recommend you still submit these regularly and as early as possible. It's the responsibility of a dental practice to ensure their claims are submitted on time in order to be awarded. Please ensure you're transmitting regularly.

Any claims made after the date your Year End report is run won't count towards your contract's activity performance for the financial year.
