Paper FP10s

Yes. We will pick that up as long as it is clear on the main body which brand / manufacturer is required, preferably on the top line next to the name of the generic. However, if it is not on the top line of the main description, it will still be picked up in processing and you should submit this in the normal manner. If the brand / manufacturer is specified in the directions you should include this within the red separator as the prescriber has added supplementary product information. 

You cannot endorse a brand / manufacturer when a Drug Tariff generic is prescribed, as you won't be paid for this unless the item has an NCSO status, in which case you should endorse it accordingly. Nor can you 'P.C' the prescription and add the brand / manufacturer. Only the prescriber can add this to the prescription's main body.
 
EPS

The brand / manufacturer would need to be specified in the product field on the EPS system. If this information is not shown in the product field it will not be processed.
