PSNC FAQ
Q. I have received a prescription for '28 x 8mg tablets'. As this strength is unavailable, can I dispense '56 x 4mg tablets'?
A. Reimbursement will be based on the prescribed strength and quantity so if contractors do ‘double up' to support patient care, they are advised to return the prescription to the prescriber for amendment to ensure correct payment. Please note that the 'PC' endorsement is not sufficient in this situation.
