Detailed below are some further FAQs designed to help users.
As a Service Provider, am I able to withdraw a claim?
Yes, you can withdraw a claim. It is important to note that the claim must be withdrawn and edited (if applicable) 5 days before the end of the last month you are claiming for in order to meet the approval and payment run. If this forms part of an advance claim series, all remaining advance claims should also be withdrawn.
Can a Commissioner change the Claims Windows?
No. These dates have been set by NHS England and cannot be changed.
Can a Commissioner use the Abandon Claim function?
Yes, they can, however, it is recommended that the Service Provider withdraws the claim(s) and deletes them from the system.
Can we set up payments to be paid via PCSE?
Yes. Unlike standard CQRS Local services, PCSE automation is disabled by default. ICBs can choose to enable the functionality by contacting the CQRS service desk. If enabled, the system generates a PCSE payment file on the last day of each month.
What are the submission timeframes?
Claims can be submitted in advance for activity up to 3 months ahead (subject to ICB confirmation) up to the end of the financial year. Claims must be submitted within 3 months after the end of the month the claim relates to.
