Sending a regulation 9 claim
- In Regulation 9 cases you may take a deposit of up to the whole cost of the replacement.
- You must obtain a decision from your NHS Board before submitting the GP17 form for processing (claiming), this must include the amount confirmed by the NHS Board as appropriate to be claimed from public funds.
- Any deposit taken should be returned to the patient, as appropriate.
- In cases where Prior Approval is involved, as the total value is over £350.00, approval must still be obtained irrespective of the Regulation 9 claim. However, if the appliance/prosthesis is the only item claimed on the form and is under £350.00, Prior Approval is not required.
Regulation 9 claims can still be sent electronically but this must be entered into Observations and also the NHS Board form must be submitted.
Add ‘Reg 9 – NHS Board decision emailed’ in observations
The NHS Board letter should then be emailed to NSS.psd-customer-admin@nhs.net with ‘Reg 9’ and the patient’s name in the subject field of the email.
