Register your pharmacy to sell PPCs online
Postal prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) applications have now been replaced with an online service that enables pharmacy contractors to issue digital certificates to customers, giving them instant access to all the benefits of having a PPC.
Paper applications sent by post to the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) are no longer accepted. Instead, pharmacy contractors need to register online via the NHSBSA website.
Registering is quick and easy. As soon as you receive your password you can start submitting PPC applications online straight away.
Digital PPCs mean:
- you can submit your customers’ PPC applications faster.
- you can receive real-time confirmation that the application has been successful
- you can add the PPC number and expiry date straight onto your Pharmacy Management System
- there is no need to post PPC applications. This reduces the risk of them being lost in transit and customers receiving penalty charges
