    Brief

    The Prescription Exemption Checking Service (PECS) involves investigating a random sample of prescription claims from patients who have claimed exemption from payment. The Provider will verify the accuracy of declared exemptions by cross-checking patient details against the Provider's records of valid exemption schemes and Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) records. This service ensures compliance and integrity within the prescription exemption system. Suppliers should be prepared to conduct detailed verification activities, maintain accurate records, and coordinate with multiple data sources to validate exemption claims.
