                                                         SERVICE (MCR)








                                                          Members in Scotland could be missing
                                                          out on as much as £3k per month.

                                                          The payments for MCR are made using one
                                                          of the more complex models in our financial
                                                          package and is based on the number of
                                                TLAND
                                                          people registered for the service (capitation
                                                          model) at the end of a given month.

                                                          MCR pool contribution amounts are used
                                                          in calculating MCR payments. In order to
                                                          get your full contribution from the £6000
                                                          MCR funding pool each month, each
                                                          pharmacy must have a certain number of
                                                          patients registered for the service and have
                                                          completed a Stage one assessment for each.

                                                          This number is calculated at the end of
                                                          each month by counting the number of valid
                                                          registrations across the whole country and
                                                          for each individual contractor, pharmacies
                                                          cannot know exactly how many registrations
                                                          to aim for, but the ready reckoner tool
                                                          assessable via the CPS website gives as
                                                          accurate an estimation as is possible.
