The NHS Business Services Authority is a Special Health Authority which provides a range of critical central services to NHS organisations, NHS contractors, patients and the public.
Amongst the services they provide are:
- Management of the NHS Pension Scheme in England and Wales.
- Payments to dentists for work undertaken on NHS contracts which involves processing approximately 44 million dental forms and payments totalling over £2.5 billion in England and Wales.
General Dental Practitioners can use NHS BSA Compass Portal to obtain information about NHS work and payment.
The Compass portal - https://compass.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/eseries/esr/elogin
Once your FD has been included on the Wales Performer List and has been given a Performer number, they will be able to sign up for access to the Compass Dental Portal, from which they will be able to view and download monthly statements of their NHS work output.
