Updated

May 2024!
A PharmData tool to compare changes to pharmacy reimbursement under the new Discount Deduction Scale which started in October 2022 and fully phased in by January 2024.
The PSNC has said it has agreed changes to the discount deduction system with the Government for community pharmacy payments in England.
The new system will be split into three parts – generic medicines, branded medicines and appliances – instead of one value for all three, with separate values for each one:
- Appliances in Part IX of the Drug Tariff will be deducted at 9.85 per cent
- Generic medicines in Part VIIIA categorised as being in Categories A and M will be deducted at
17.52 per cent20 per cent (increased from 17.52 in April 2023) - Branded medicines or any other product will be deducted at 5 per cent
- Concessionary prices
will also be deducted at 5 per centare classified as Discount Not Deducted since April 2023 - Discount Not Deducted items will continue to not be subject to deduction
Use this PharmData tool to calculate the deduction scales for a pharmacy under the new scheme.
Select a pharmacy to estimate the new Discount Deduction Scale:
This tool works by considering the current Discount Deduction Scale of the pharmacy and comparing it to the previous sliding scale based on dispensing volume. The new Discount Deduction Scale system has been designed to deliver the same total amount of deduction as the existing system, and so is expected to be more beneficial to those pharmacies with greater dispensing volumes and a greater proportion of branded items. The actual discount deducted will depend on the mixture of generic, brand and appliance dispensing at each pharmacy and will vary from month to month.

Old discount deduction scales
The old discount deduction scales are based on the monthly sum of medicines and appliances supplied by the pharmacy, not including products on the DND (Discount Not Deducted) list.
For example, if this value is £109.267.42, then this would fall between the lower limit of £109,251 and upper limit of £109,750 for a deduction rate of 10.66%
