NMS Quarterly Report Claiming Guidelines

 

The criteria which determine whether an NMS record is complete and claimable can also affect the figures on the NMS quarterly report. This will explain some of the discrepancies in the report; and why some of the NMS records will not be considered claimable on ProScript Connect. As long as the claim criteria are met, the NMS record will be added to the overall claimable NMS figures. If the NMS record is not complete, and therefore not claimable, it will not be added to the overall claimable NMS figures, but will still be recorded in its relevant category.
