The BB endorsement allows contactors to claim payment for a complete pack of an eligible product where only a part-pack has been dispensed.
You should only claim BB where it’s unlikely that you’ll dispense the remainder within the following 6 months.
If you claim for this item again within 6 months, the balance is used up before additional reimbursement is made.

Endorsement
To claim BB, you must endorse ‘BB’ and the pack size the medication has been taken from. If this is missing, the claim will be invalid.
If you’ve claimed BB less than 6 months ago and have dispensed the remainder of the pack, you do not need to endorse anything to show that you have already claimed BB.
Our system will automatically pick up the previous claim and will use up any remaining balance.
