Discharge Medicines Service

A new shortened claim process on MYS from July 2025
A new shortened process for making claims for the Discharge Medicines Service (DMS) will come into effect from 6th July 2025.
NHS England and NHSBSA have agreed to introduce a shortened process for making claims for DMS as the API is still not ready. In time, an API will be introduced to support transfer of data on DMS provisions from clinical services IT systems to the NHSBSA MYS portal.
Pharmacies can still do all three stages of the service or a combination of stages 1, and or 2 or 3 depending on the needs of the patient.
Pharmacies should continue to only submit claims for payment once all the stages they are able to provide are completed.
