As of 04/01/2021 (Until 31/03/2021)

We do not recommend amending or adding your NHS Contracts within EXACT as it can cause issues later with contract rollovers and as well as with reporting within EXACT and MPC.
(i.e Reports will have to be run for the two periods independently for the time frames because the contracts will be separate.)
We have had confirmation from the board that where a patient has not had an appointment after 1st January the UDA’s from the claim will not count towards the final quarter target. Where a patient has an appointment after 1 January but fails to attend and their last appointment took place before the 31 December, for example, 28 October, once the form is submitted it will appear on a later schedule but the activity will be allocated towards the achievement of the minimum 20% target (20 July - 31 December). If the failure to attend occurs after the 31 March but their last appointment had been between 1 January and 31 March and the form was submitted in April, May or June, it will appear on a later schedule but the activity will be allocated towards the achievement of the minimum 45% target for 1 January - 31 March 2020. This means that only the following COTs will be counted in the final quarter window:
UDA’s that have been held or resubmitted and sent again from before this date will not be counted towards the final quarter target. |
What we recommend:
Using the NHS Compass website for tracking accepted UDAs. Compass is updated more regularly than EXACT and claims and any responses should appear on there within 20 minutes of them being received.
Using the Old UDA/UOA Report to keep on track of what you are sending off to the board and the UDA's/UOA's In Progress Report to make sure you are sending off all possible UDAs so you do not fall short – We would recommend running these at least once a week.
Sending COTs of more frequently than the standard once a week. Ideally, each provider would transmit their claims for that day so any responses can be dealt with quickly.
