Contractors applying for a review are strongly encouraged to read PhAS: contractor guidance on submitting an eligibility review application – distance grounds only before starting their applications. Please note, applications must be made using the NHSE&I web review portal and it is important to gather all the evidence you need for an application before you start it.

Those contractors seeking a review are also advised to ensure the pharmacy is registered on NHSBSA’s Manage Your Service (MYS) portal to provide CPCS, because PhAS 2022 payments are dependent on this.
