Changes to general ophthalmic services payments

Changes to general ophthalmic services (GOS) payments came into effect following amendments to the GOS regulations. Claims for sight tests completed, and voucher claims collected, on or after 1 January 2024 must be submitted using an electronic system. Contractors will have three months to submit sight test claims. The Primary Care Support England (PCSE) online system functionality will mitigate against interruption to patient care in the event of system outages or mobile/internet connectivity issues. New functionality will process uncollected glasses claims and claims with a changed voucher type, due to back vertex distance changes. Updated user guides are available on the PCSE website.
