Description

NHS England, East, wishes to commission a Level 2 Oral Surgery Service Provider, located in primary care or other locality settings, within the West Suffolk locality to support patients being managed within primary care to complement the existing GDS and hospital services.

The aim of the introduction of Level 2 Oral Surgery Service is to:

• ensure that patients are treated in the most appropriate setting;
• increase the access of oral surgery services across the whole of the county;
• reduce referrals into secondary care;
• prevent inappropriate referrals from GDPs;
• ensure patients are treatment within 18 weeks;
• to enhance preventative and quality services to patients;
• identify training and education needs of GDPs;

The Provider of Level 2 oral surgery service will receive a fixed payment of £150 for each episode of care (from first appointment to discharge). This payment is fixed, regardless of number of visits and includes the costs associated with the treatment including staff time involved in undertaking the procedure including that of the dental surgeon, radiographs, equipment disposables/consumables associated with undertaking the procedure and all sterilisation, maintenance, calibration and servicing of equipment, medications, administration, premises costs and inspection visits eg SAAD inspection if appropriate. The payment also covers a pre-assessment, treatment, follow up care and appointment(s), diagnostic procedures and any costs associated with emergency work should any of these be necessary.

The Provider of Level 2 oral surgery service will be entitled to claim a payment of £40 for an appointment resulting only in an assessment where the treatment is not undertaken/completed.

The Provider of Level 2 oral surgery service will be entitled to claim a payment of £30 for an appointment that results in sedation being required as part of the Course of Treatment.

The contract is for a period of 12 months with an option extension of 2 x 6 months.
