New long Covid enhanced service (ES) to pay just under 50p per registered patient
GPs have been given until the 31st July to sign up patients to the new enhanced long Covid enhanced service (ES).
The new service was set up to help support patients with the condition as it was considered complex and needed consistent support.
The ES is also intended to help GP practices 'plan their workforce set up, training needs and infrastructure in order to support patients with this new condition’.
The payment to practices will occur on a monthly basis and will be paid 75% of the fee (£0.371) per registered patient. The remaining 25% (£0.124 )will be paid once patients have been signed up.
