If the prescriber has clearly indicated that mixed, assorted or various flavours should be dispensed, one fee per flavour is paid.
Each flavour is paid separately so may not show on the expensive items breakdown on the Schedule of Payments unless the cost per flavour exceeds £100.
Endorsing
If the prescriber orders mixed or assorted flavours, it's best practice for you to endorse exactly which flavours you have given.
Mixed or assorted flavours not specified
If only one flavour has been ordered by the prescriber, we'll reimburse one flavour. This is regardless of how many flavours have been endorsed.
If no flavour or flavour not specified has been prescribed, we'll only pay for a single flavour. We'll not accept endorsements of multiple or assorted flavours dispensed.
In order to be paid a separate fee per flavour, the prescription must clearly specify:
- mixed
- assorted
- various flavours
On the EPS system, the assorted flavours 'AF' box must be ticked by the prescriber.
