Request organisation Prescribing Cost Centre Code (NHS Organisations)

Created by James Harley, Modified on Thu, 24 Nov, 2022 at 10:13 AM by James Harley

New Cost Centre


The ICB will need to complete a New Cost Centre form (attached below) to inform the NHSBSA a new service has been set up.


Spurious Code Request


The ICB will also need to complete the Spurious Code Request form (attached below) but omitting the cost centre code field only.


When filling in the form, please select ‘Generic spurious code for a new/existing cost centre/practice’.


A cost centre can only be set up on NHS Prescription Services’ systems if either a named doctor, a generically named spurious code (i.e. Dr PCN Name) or one or more non-medical prescribers are also added to the new cost centre at the same time.


Submit Forms


All completed forms should be returned via email to: nhsbsa.prescriptioninformation@nhs.net  


If the NHSBSA needs to query the information submitted, they will send an email to the original sender of the notification.


Independent Sector Healthcare Providers will need to follow the guidance here.
