5. 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)

6. 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

7. Tariffs contd
Tariff for 420 and 321 is very similar
