In the Edit (F3) screen, the Schemes / Refs box shows you the list of any existing Schemes that have been assigned to the patient. A patient requires at least ONE(1) Scheme for them to have Dispenses added to their PMR. Different Schemes will have different criteria for usage and, in some cases, different pricing applied to items dispensed under them.
The Schemes / Refs section holds the following pieces of information about a Scheme assigned to a patient's record:
| Information | Scheme Details |
|---|---|
| Scheme Name | The name of the Scheme in question. |
| Card No | The Card Number of Reference Number for this Scheme for this Patient e.g. a GMS Medical Card number. |
| Month | If the Scheme has an expiry date, this is the Month of Expiry. |
| Year | If the Scheme has an expiry date, this is the Year of Expiry. |
| HT Link | This tick box is used when linking a High Tech Scheme to another applicable Scheme. |
