SMART Pharmacy Top Tip – Balance of Stock on Hand

SMART Pharmacy Top Tips

If a pharmacy has to purchase a larger quantity of an expensive medication than the quantity prescribed, and where a portion of that pack remains on hand after an agreed period, the full cost of the balance of the pack can be claimed from the PCRS. The cost of the balance of the pack must be in excess of €12.70 and must not have been dispensed within the three months prior to the claim being made, unless circumstances warrant otherwise, such as short-dated products which expired within the time period.

The pharmacist should send a copy of the relevant prescription endorsed with the balance of stock on hand and the value of the claim, and the relevant invoice, to the local Community HSE Office, who will in turn forward the documentation to the PCRS for processing.
