MCR Ready Reckoner Is Back!
Published: 19/08/24
Our handy MCR ready reckoner is back and updated with the most current and accurate data from National Services Scotland (NSS) and gives as accurate an estimation as is possible. You can use this to see your pharmacy teams weekly progress on MCR assessments needed to get that extra 10% payment. We have both the MCR ready reckoner app and a downloadable version available. Simply enter your MCR Pool contribution, and you can see how many assessments are needed each week.
MCR pool contribution amounts are used in calculating MCR payments. In order to get their full contribution from the £3.004m MCR funding pool each month, each pharmacy must have a certain number of patients registered for the service and have completed a Stage 1 assessment for each. When pharmacies do not manage to register and assess enough people, their monthly funding can be reduced by up to 10%. On the other hand, these underpayments allow other pharmacies the opportunity to earn up to 10% more than their allocated funding if they register more people than expected.
If you have any questions regarding MCR or the Ready Reckoner please email Shaun who will be happy to help.
