Follow the guidance for:
Paper FP10s
You'll be paid for the brand if it's clear on the main body which brand or manufacturer is required.
This must preferably be on the top line next to the name of the generic.
If it's not on the top line of the main description, it will still be picked up in processing and you must submit this in the normal manner.
If the brand or manufacturer is specified in the directions, you must include this within the red separator as the prescriber has added supplementary product information.
You cannot endorse a brand or manufacturer when a Drug Tariff generic is prescribed. You'll not be paid for this unless the item has an 'NCSO status'.
If it has an 'NCSO status', you must endorse it accordingly.
You cannot 'P.C' the prescription and add the brand or manufacturer. Only the prescriber can add this to the prescription's main body.
EPS
The brand or manufacturer must be specified in the product field on the EPS system.
If this information is not shown in the product field, it will not be processed.
