Claims for Out of Pocket Expenses

Where additional expenses have been incurred in obtaining from a manufacturer or wholesaler supplies of a drug or appliance (other than those items for which prices are given in Parts 2-5, 7 and 9 of the Scottish Drug Tariff), which a practice does not frequently require to provide, payment of the amount incurred will be authorised if the practice submits a claim giving full details to the NHS Board with the appropriate prescription form and if, in any doubtful cases, the Health Board, after consultation with the GP Subcommittee of the Area Medical Committee, is satisfied that the additional expenses were necessarily incurred and were reasonable.
