Tariffs In discussion with NHSE Yorkshire and Humber to achieve consistency All PEC activity should be recorded as TF 420 (flows to CCGs) All outreach activity should be recorded as TF 321( flows to NHSE). Can be paid to DGH or Specialist Centre ( Depends on the contracting arrangements)
Tariffs contd Echos can also be charged for in addition to the outpatient tariff If the PEC and Outreach specialist are seeing the same patients (together or one after the other) it’s multi-professional with just 1 patient list. If both doctors are running a patient list each and the specialist consultant is overseeing the clinic then it is 2 patient lists with all appointments classed as single professional
Tariffs contd Tariff for 420 and 321 is very similar
