Specials Endorsing
Peel, stick and submit: Numark Specials makes endorsing easy.
Numark Specials is making a big difference to you as members by supplying endorsing information in the form of an adhesive label, saving you valuable time on what is often a laborious process.
Endorsements should be accurate, concise and legible to ensure accurate payment for all medicines. Unlicensed medicines make up approximately 1% of all prescriptions processed by pharmacists, and endorsing can be more complex (Association of Pharmaceutical Specials Manufacturers 2017).
Recognising that writing out precise and clear endorsements can be time-consuming for members, Numark Specials has introduced handy endorsing stickers for its products, which come attached to all paperwork delivered with goods
Simply peel off the endorsement, stick it to the prescription, and then submit it for payment.
