Can I Submit a New Product Without a Price?

It is possible to send a new product submission to the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) without a price. 

There are 2 ways of handling new price information:

1. Make your emc med data dm+d submission before the price is known and then update the price once it has been confirmed. 

• Collate all your data as normal, but enter a value of 1 (one pence) into the price field for each pack.
• Send the submission to the NHSBSA. 

(Assuming all the data is correct) The NHSBSA will 'accept the submission with revisions' and will remove the value of 1 pence. The NHSBSA will add the data to the dm+d and it will be shown on emc med data, up to a maximum of 5 working days after your effective date. 

• Once the price is confirmed, use emc med data dm+d to make a 'price change' submission and update the price information.

If you have an actual product pack that has a genuine price of 1 pence, please contact servicedesk@datapharm.com

2. Submit your product information on med data (dm+d) when you have the price confirmed.
