CQC registration fees reimbursement scheme claim process
The GMS contract changes for 2017/18 includes full reimbursement of Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration fees.
This change is being implemented via the Statement of Financial Entitlements (SFE) which means that from 1 April 2017 the CQC registration fees will be reimbursed by NHS England London Region Teams. This will apply to all GP Practices (GMS, PMS and APMS).
To claim for the CQC registration fees practices will need to complete and submit the claim form with a copy of the CQC invoice and a copy of evidence of payment.
For practices paying in one lump sum a copy of the paid receipt or bank statement will be required.
Where practices agree with the CQC to pay by instalments a copy of the invoice and agreement or a copy of direct debit or standing order mandate will be required. London Region will also be requesting evidence of continuing payments at six monthly intervals.
Practices who have already submitted copy of the CQC invoice and a copy of evidence of payment would need to complete and submit the claim form only.
Please note that as this is a reimbursement submitting the CQC invoice alone will not be sufficient to claim the CQC registration fees.
Further information is contained in the London Region's 'Reimbursement of CQC Registration Fees for GPs – Process' and the CQC's 'Provision for Fees'.
Should you require any further information please contact your local London Region Area Team on: england.lon-ne-claims@nhs.net.
