1 Document Purpose
This document provides further clarification and supporting information for the Commissioner Assignment Method flow chart.
2 Aligned Flow Chart Version and Status
This guidance relates to the version of the flow chart that is designed around the commissioning business rules for the 2015/16 financial year (flow chart file name [Commissioner Assignment Method v11.pdf] and Appendix I).
3 Document Audience
This document is designed to support those organisations (hereafter referred to as ‘providers’) who derive and provide commissioner code data within commissioning datasets. These organisations may be healthcare providers (e.g. acute or mental health trusts, independent sector hospitals) or commissioning support organisation (e.g. the HSCIC and its Data Services for Commissioners, Regional Offices (DSCROs)).
4 Commissioner Assignment Method Objective
The Commissioner Assignment Method, builds upon, complements and clarifies the August 2013 ‘Who Pays? Determining Responsibility for Payment to Providers’ guidance published by NHS England in August 20131. The Commissioner Assignment Method flow chart is designed to assist English secondary care providers of healthcare to allocate the correct commissioner code within specified commissioning datasets (CDS) for the healthcare activities they provide. The commissioner code is recorded within the CDS field ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) within the Service Agreement Details data group2. The commissioner code describes which commissioning organisation has payment responsibility, differentiating activity paid for by NHS England (including subdivisions thereof), Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commissioners and other commissioners as appropriate. It embodies the explicit commissioning hierarchy for CCG and NHS England commissioned services as described in the Gateway Reference Letter to NHS England Area Teams – Secondary Dental Care (Gateway Reference No. 00781), dated 20 November 20133.

7 Determining Usual Place of Residence
This paper assumes the same rules for deciding usual place of residence of a patient, as described in Annex B in the August 2013 ‘Who Pays? Determining Responsibility for Payment to Providers’ guidance. The guidance therein is also maintained for determining the residency status of asylum seekers, patients residing in approved premises, bail accommodation, patients who move during treatment, people taken ill abroad, students and boarding school pupils and persons detained under the Mental Health Act (1983).
Providers should also ensure for any patients with a ‘No Fixed Abode’ postcode (ZZ99 3VZ) or ‘Address Not Known’ postcode (ZZ99 3WZ), or ‘England UK - not specified’ (Z99 3CZ) that they identify a usual place of residence based upon the address of the main site of the provider delivering the care and use this address when determining commissioning payment responsibilities. Providers should not, however, transmit the postcode of the main site of the provider delivering the care, in the CDS itself for any patients who have no fixed abode as the ZZ99 3VZ postcode value may need to be used to differentiate this population group within health outcomes and equalities analyses.
Providers should endeavour to record the full address and postcode for patients from the UK home countries (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland). Providers should only use the pseudo postcodes for these countries (ZZ99 3GZ – Wales; ZZ99 1WZ – Scotland; ZZ99 2WZ Northern Ireland) if it is impossible to determine the full address and postcode for a patient.
Where a patient’s usual place of residence is overseas providers should record the full address and use the relevant pseudo postcode to indicate the country of usual residence. The pseudo post code list is maintained by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) as part of the ONS NHS Postcode Directory and can be found at the following HSCIC website:
http://systems.hscic.gov.uk/data/ods/datadownloads/onsdata
Serving members of the armed forces will be registered with a Defence Medical Services (DMS) primary care practice. These are located within the UK or overseas. Registration details are held on the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) health information system ‘DMICP’ (Defence Medical Information Capability Programme). DMICP is integrated to the Patient Demographic Service on the Spine and the Spine’s demographic data for armed forces personnel are ‘civilianised’ by this integration. This is for security reasons as it prevents serving members of the armed forces being easily identifiable whilst in hospital. The civilianisation process removes rank and other military terminology from the patient demographic data and also replaces the patient’s actual place of residence with a civilian form of the address of the DMS practice they are registered with. This address should be used as part of the Commissioner Assignment Method and not the actual address of the patient. The same principle applies to serving personnel who are based overseas at a BFPO address and who return to the UK for treatment. The BFPO address should not be recorded as the usual place of residence for the security reason noted above. Instead the patient’s DMS practice address should be used.

8 Flow Chart Methodology
The flow chart runs through a set of question steps, predominantly of a ‘Yes/No’ type. These questions lead ultimately to an answer to which identifies the commissioning organisation or organisation type with payment responsibility for the care represented by the CDS activity record. Providers need to write the correct Organisation Data Services organisation code for this organisation in the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER)4 field in the CDS. The correct codes to denote commissioning responsibilities for the 2015/16 financial year are described in the NHS England Direct Commissioning Framework Responsibilities Matrix 2015/16 (Appendix A). These organisations are also described in more detail in section 10 below.
For the sake of clarity the Commissioner Assignment Method flowchart includes annotations for each process step which link to further explanatory detail in the table below. This detail includes derivation logic for each step, where required. This derivation logic uses fields from the in-scope CDS types, and where this is the case the field names are in uppercase, as per the convention in the NHS Data Dictionary. The flow chart logic also relies on a number of reference files and look-up tables. These are either references to national files or a provided look-up file. The latter are detailed in the appendices to this document.
In some cases the derivation logic for a process step explains explicitly how to deal with stated default data values for CDS fields and how the relevant question should be answered for these values. If the derivation logic does not explicitly state how to deal with unstated default codes, invalid or null values within a CDS field then the derivation logic should be followed explicitly. For example if a question requires a specified value or values to be present in a CDS field for the answer to be ‘Yes’, then any other value in the CDS field, including nulls, would be answered ‘No’. This approach should ensure that a commissioner code can be assigned to all CDS records.

9 Flowchart Key
10 Definitions of Assigned Commissioners
Assigned Commissioners
Commissioner Comments / Logic
Host CCG The host CCG of a healthcare provider is the CCG within which the address of the provider’s main site is located.
‘Host CCG’ is derived as follows:
1. Establish main site of the healthcare provider by taking first three digits (i.e. ignoring any site code suffixes) of the CDS field: ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF PROVIDER)
2. Derive postcode of the address of the provider’s main site by looking up the derived provider code in column1 the ODS reference file ‘etr.csv’ and extracting the provider’s postcode (from column 10)
3. Look up the extracted provider postcode in the ONS NHS Postcode Directory and derive the responsible CCG from field 18 in the Postcode Directory for the matching record.
In the absence of any previous official guidance for identifying the host CCG there may be local
11
Assigned Commissioners
Commissioner Comments / Logic
variations of this method for determining the Host CCG in current use that differ from this definition.
It is recognised that the above definition may not reflect current local practice, particularly in some metropolitan areas, where it is known that hospital sites may cross many CCG boundaries within a single trust. Should the above approach be applied it is possible that in these areas that the provider’s main site will have a different postcode to the point of treatment, which could lead to host CCG being a different organisation to what this guidance would suggest.
Commissioners and providers should be encouraged to use the definition for host CCG suggested by this document. Where this would result in a shift of local activity between CCGs, local commissioners and finance leads should be engaged to ensure appropriate adjustments are made locally. It is recognised that it may not be possible to implement the change to this definition of host CCG immediately.
Responsible CCG The responsible CCG is based on the CCG which a patient’s registered GP belongs to, or for patients who are not registered with any GP, the CCG within which the patient is usually resident.
Responsible CCG commissioner is derived as follows:
CDS field GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTICE CODE (PATIENT REGISTRATION) if this value is either Null or Missing, or V81999 (registered GP Practice Code not known) or V81998 (registered GP Practice code not applicable) or V81997 (No registered GP Practice) then take the value from the CDS field POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS and look this postcode value up in the ONS NHS Postcode Directory and derive the responsible CCG commissioner from the value in the Directory’s ‘CCG’ field (field 18) for the matching record;
ELSE look up the value in the ODS ‘epraccur’ file and derive the responsible CCG commissioner from ‘epraccur’ field 15 (‘Commissioner - Code for the Commissioning Organisation (derived
12
Assigned Commissioners
Commissioner Comments / Logic
geographically)’ )
If there is no match to a record in ‘epraccur’ then revert to the postcode methodology.
If the CDS field: POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS is populated with an ‘Unable to be allocated’ pseudo postcode (ZZ99 3WZ or ZZ99 3VZ) or is null then identify a usual place of residence based upon the address of the main site of the provider delivering the care and use this address when determining commissioning payment responsibilities.
Private Patient/Overseas Visitor
Patients are liable for all NHS charges relating to their care - whether as a non-charges exempt overseas visitor or as a private patient.
Providers will be required to assess a patient’s liability for NHS-charges and record appropriate data in the OVERSEAS VISITOR STATUS CLASSIFICATION and ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY fields of the CDS in order to further demonstrate the answer this question.
If the CDS field OVERSEAS VISITOR STATUS CLASSIFICATION is populated with the value ‘4’ (to pay all charges) OR if the CDS field ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY is populated with the value ‘02’ (Private Patient) then the answer to this question is ‘Yes’ else the answer is ‘No’.
NHS England Armed Forces Commissioning Hub
‘Who Pays?’ guidance states that NHS England is responsible for commissioning secondary and community health services for members of the armed forces who are registered with an English Defence Medical Services (DMS) GP Practice, for the members’ families where they are registered with an English DMS practice, and also for reservists whilst mobilised, irrespective of their registration status.
Providers should use the ‘Parent Organisation Code’ for the A91* practices in the epraccur

Commissioner Comments / Logic
reference file – ‘13Q’ as the commissioner code for NHS England-commissioned armed forces activity. 13Q is the code of the ‘NHS England Commissioning Hub 1’, which was set up to support the implementation of Choose and Book services for DMS practices. This field will unambiguously identify the correct commissioner organisation for the eligible armed forces population in commissioning data sets.
NHS England Specialised Commissioning Hub
Where a CDS record has been identified as being for specialised care then the relevant responsible NHS England Specialised Commissioning Hub will be responsible for paying for the care received.
The 10 NHSE Regional Geographies with commissioning responsibility for specialised services (‘Specialised Commissioning Hubs’) have agreed contracts for specialised services with specified UK providers. The Specialised Commissioning Hubs are described in the NHS England Direct Commissioning Framework Responsibilities Matrix 2015/16 (Appendix A) .The baselines for the 10 Specialised Commissioning Hubs also include funding to cover the cost of certain highly-specialised services provided to patients from all of the UK Home countries under the ‘Pre-1991’ agreement and care provided to Northern Ireland residents under the Northern Ireland Highly-Specialised Services Contract and care provided to Scottish residents under the Scotland Highly-Specialised Services Contract.
Providers MUST NOT use the redundant organisation code ‘YDD82’ as a commissioner code within the CDS. The prescribed specialised services identification rules software requires this code to be used within its input data to ensure correct application of the software logic, but it is not a valid commissioner code within the CDS.
The relevant responsible NHS England Regional Geography is derived as follows:
Take the value from the CDS field ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF PROVIDER)
14
Assigned Commissioners
Commissioner Comments / Logic
And look this value up in the list of specified UK providers who have agreed contracts with NHS England Specialised Commissioning Hubs, as specified in the mapping file managed by the HSCIC Organisation Data Services team (http://systems.hscic.gov.uk/data/ods/datadownloads/atprovmap) and then use this to derive the corresponding NHS England Specialised Commissioning Hub code..
NHS Scotland National Services Division
The Scottish devolved administration is responsible for paying for all other specialised care, not covered by pre-existing legacy agreements with NHS England, for its residents at English providers.
The National Services Division of NHS Scotland is the responsible commissioner for specialised care for Scottish residents by managing a pool of funds (risk share scheme) on behalf of Health Boards to pay for individual patient referrals for a “prescribed” list of specialised services in England which are not included in the service agreement with NHS England 5
Providers should use the ODS code ‘SD002’ for the NHS Scotland Health National Services Division, as defined in the ODS ‘scotpur’ reference file, as the commissioner code for this activity.
Scottish Health Board Scottish Health Boards (SHBs) have a responsibility to provide for the health care of patients living within their boundaries, i.e. patients who are “ordinarily resident” in their area6. Scottish Health Boards are responsible for paying for non-specialised admitted and outpatient activity for their residents. The responsible Scottish Health Board is derived from the patient’s postcode of place of usual residence, via the ONS NHS Postcode Directory.
Scottish Health Boards are also responsible for paying for care provided to patients registered

within Scottish Defence Medical Services Practices. Because there is no mapping between Scottish DMS practices and Scottish Health Boards the correct Scottish Health Board should be derived from a patient’s postcode of usual address which will be the postcode of the DMS practice itself.
Providers should use the ODS for codes in the rang SA9 to SZ9, as defined in the ODS ‘scotpur’ reference file, as the commissioner code for this activity. Take the value from the CDS field POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS and look this postcode value up in the ONS NHS Postcode Directory and derive the responsible Scottish Health Board from the value in the Directory’s field 18 for the matching record.
Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Board
The Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Board is responsible for paying for all other specialised care, not covered by pre-existing legacy agreements with NHS England, for its residents in English providers. It is also responsible for paying for non-specialised admitted and outpatient activity for its residents.
The Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Board discharges its commissioning responsibilities via its five Local Commissioning Groups (LCGs) who commission care for their resident population7, therefore the responsible LCG is derived from the patient’s postcode of place of usual residence.
The Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Board, via its LCGs, is also responsible for paying for care provided to patients registered within Northern Irish Defence Medical Services Practices. Because there is no mapping between Northern Irish DMS practices and LCGs the correct LCG should be derived from a patient’s postcode of usual address which will be the postcode of the DMS practice itself.

Take the value from the CDS field POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS and look this postcode value up in the ONS NHS Postcode Directory and derive the responsible Northern Ireland Local Commissioning Group from the value in the Directory’s field 18 for the matching record. Northern Ireland Local Commissioning Group values will be in the range ZC1 to ZC5
Welsh Local Health Board and Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee
The Welsh devolved administration is responsible for paying for all other specialised care, not covered by existing legacy agreements with NHS England, for its residents at English providers. It also holds payment responsibility for patients residing near the English/Welsh Border as defined within the Protocol for Cross-Border Healthcare Services8. It is also responsible for paying for care provided to patients registered within Welsh Defence Medical Services Practices.
NHS Wales discharges its specialised services commissioning responsibility through the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee (Wales)9. Other commissioning responsibilities are covered by the various Welsh Local Health Boards who are responsible for planning, funding, designing, developing and securing the delivery of primary, community and in-hospital care services for residents in their respective areas and the responsible body will be established on the basis of the LHB area where the person is usually resident10. Therefore the responsible LHB is derived from the patient’s postcode of place of usual residence. Because there is no mapping between Welsh DMS practices and Welsh Local Health Boards the correct Welsh Local Health Board should be derived from a patient’s postcode of usual address which will be the postcode of the DMS practice itself.
There is no national ODS code for the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee (Wales) so the ODS codes for the Welsh Local Health Boards (in the range 7A1-7A7) should be used as the commissioner code for this activity using postcode or practice look-ups to derive the correct

Take the postcode recorded in the CDS field: POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS and look this up in the ONS NHS Postcode Directory where the relevant Welsh Local Health Board organisation code is listed under field 18 for the matching record.
If the CDS field: POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS is populated with the default pseudo postcode for Wales (ZZ99 3GZ) rather than a specific Welsh postcode then it will not be possible to allocate a specific Welsh Local Health Board organisation code and instead the code for the Welsh Government (W01) should be used instead.
Responsible Local Authority Local Authorities have a duty to improve the health of the people in their areas, funded by a ring-fenced grant. Local Authorities fulfil this duty by commissioning a range of services from providers. Some of these services are mandatory (e.g. sexual health, smoking cessation).
If the Local Authority services are commissioned from a secondary care provider and a standard CDS flow is used to record the activity then the responsible commissioner in the dataset will need to be the relevant Local Authority organisation.
The Who Pays? Guidance states that Local Authorities have the power to determine who their relevant population is for the services they commission (Annex B, Point 1, third bullet). However the default assumption is that each Local Authority will be responsible for commissioning relevant services for their resident population, specifically those people whose usual place of residence is within the geographic boundary of the Local Authority.
Take the value from the CDS field POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS and look this postcode value up in the ONS NHS Postcode Directory and derive the responsible Local Authority from the

Responsible NHSE Regional Geography for Secondary Dental Services
All NHS England Regional Geographies have commissioning and payment responsibility for secondary dental care (see Appendix B), therefore the correct Regional Geography code should be used to populate the commissioner code within the CDS for secondary dental activity records.
Each NHS England Regional Geography commissioning team commissions secondary dental services for their responsible population which is defined as anyone registered with a GP practice belonging to a CCG within the regional geography’s boundary or anyone, not registered with any GP, who lives within a CCG located within the regional geography’s boundary
CDS field GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTICE CODE (PATIENT REGISTRATION) if this value is either V81999 (registered GP Practice Code not known) or V81998 (registered GP Practice code not applicable) or V81997 (No registered GP Practice) then take the value from the CDS field POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS and look this postcode value up in the ONS NHS Postcode Directory and derive the code for the responsible Regional Geography from the value in the Directory’s ’Regional Geography’ field (field 24) for the matching record;

Responsible NHSE Regional Geography for Health and Justice Commissioning
Ten NHS England Regional Geographies are responsible for health and justice commissioning (see Appendix A). These regional geography teams commission secondary care based on which prison or detention centre referred the patient. The responsible regional geography – detention centre mapping can be inferred from in Appendix 1 of ‘Securing Excellence in Commissioning for Offender Health’11 which lists the relationship between the old NHS England Area teams (which map on a 1:1 basis to the new NHS England Regional Geographies) and prison/detention centres. This has been used to construct a mapping table (Appendix F) which shows which of the 10 NHS England Regional Geographies are responsible for which prison/detention centre.
Take the postcode value from the CDS field: POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS and look this up in column D of Appendix F.
The responsible Regional Geography commissioner can be obtained from Column E for the matching record.

RPop Residential Population Check Checks to see whether an overseas visitor patient is part of the UK residential population for funding purposes.
Section 7 of Annex A of the ‘Who Pays…?’ guidance distinguishes between those charges-exempt overseas visitors who are part of the residential population and those who are not. This distinction is purely to determine whether the Host CCG or Responsible CCG should pay for the care provided to the charges-exempt overseas visitor. If a charges-exempt overseas visitor patient is registered with an English GP (and who may also give an English address as their place of usual residence12) then they are considered part of the residential population for funding purposes. Charges-exempt overseas visitors who are not registered with an English GP (and who may also not give an English address as their place of usual residence) are not considered as part of the residential population for funding purposes.

B Specialised and highly-specialised services are identified via the correct and complete application of the Identification Rules for Prescribed Specialised Services (the IR)13
NHS England has developed a prescribed specialised services identification rules software tool, now maintained by the HSCIC14, which can be used to identify spells and outpatient attendances that represent specialised activity and which are also chargeable via a national tariff as part of Payment by Results. It is important to note that the identification rules software tool is not, of itself, sufficient means to identify specialised activity in CDS flows as full application of the IR requires the use of additional non-SUS datasets and logic. Providers should apply the rules in full using these other resources as required. Appendix B shows which specialised service lines can be identified by the specialised services identification rules software and which cannot.
It is also important to note that for admitted patient care consultant episode CDS records the identification rules software tool will allocate a specialised service line at episode level for those episodes with qualifying data content but may or may not allocate a specialised

service line code at spell level for a number of reasons. These are specified at the top of page 5 of the NHS England document: ‘Identification rules for prescribed specialised services: guide for trust information managers’15. In addition the software tool also does not flag a spell as specialised, if a provider marks up episodes within the spell as being exempt from national Payments by Results tariffs (see: http://www.datadictionary.nhs.uk/data_dictionary/data_field_notes/c/co/commissioning_serial_number_de.asp?shownav=0 for more information).
A general rule is that if any part of a spell is specialised then the whole spell should be considered as specialised. Therefore if the identification rules software tool flags an episode or episodes in a spell as specialised but does not flag the spell as specialised then the spell should still be considered as a specialised spell. Likewise if the full application of the IR logic indicates that a spell is specialised, even if the identification rules software tool of itself does not identify any spell or episode within it as specialised, then the spell is still specialised.

In this scenario the specialised service line code should only be written into the episode that contains the unbundled HRGs (i.e. the entire spell is not deemed as specialised). Likewise a spell may contain the following unbundled specialised critical care HRGs: XA01Z-XA04Z, XA06Z and XB01Z-XB08Z (paid for by NHS England) and have a core HRG that is chargeable to a CCG.
For these and other instances where the only specialised care is expressed via unbundled HRGs then the relevant specialised service line code should only be written into the episode that contains the unbundled HRGs (i.e. the entire spell is not deemed as specialised).
Where an entire spell is designated as specialised using the above logic then providers should record a specialised service line code into the NHS SERVICE AGREEMENT LINE NUMBER CDS field for every

The service line code used should be the service line for the spell as a whole (i.e. each episode in a specialised spell will contain the same spell-level service line code). Likewise the relevant Specialised Commissioning Hub code should be written into the Organisation Code (Code of Commissioner) CDS field for every episode in a spell deemed as specialised.
If an outpatient attendance is designated as specialised then Providers should record a specialised service line code into the NHS SERVICE AGREEMENT LINE NUMBER CDS field for the outpatient attendance CDS record.

Because of this dependency providers must still ensure that the YDD82 code is included in the input file for the identification rules software tool for any record that is highly-specialised. However this code must then be replaced with the correct organisation code in the CDS file.

The commissioning arrangements for infertility care are complex for the armed forces population where special rules exist for serving members, their partners and veterans, for cases where the infertility is a consequence of service. However the number of patients falling into this category are very low (<10 per annum). It is not possible to unequivocally identify using CDS fields alone whether a CDS record describing infertility care or treatment should be paid for under the

special rules applying to armed forces health.
As a consequence the Responsible CCG will pay for infertility treatment in the vast majority of cases and providers should use this by default unless otherwise advised. The Responsible CCG is based on the CCG which a patient’s registered GP belongs to, or for patients who are not registered with any GP, the CCG within which the patient is usually resident.
NHS England Armed Forces health leads operate a process to determine whether a patient’s infertility treatment needs to be paid for under the special rules applying to armed forces health (see Appendix E). Where this is found to be the case providers will be contacted by NHS England before the patient attends for care. Providers will then need to manually modify the commissioner code within the relevant CDS submission records from the default responsible CCG code to the agreed code for NHS England Armed Forces Health Commissioning Hub– ‘13Q’ .

secondary care for persons detained in and referred from police custody suites, other places of temporary secure accommodation such as courts, or people held on remand in the community whilst on bail.
The use of prison practice codes to identify the eligible health and justice population is not recommended as offenders often remain with their usual NHS GP if their sentence is less than 2 years. Another reason is that the current prison primary care system is not connected to the Spine and therefore the registration details for patients registered with HMP practices will not flow from the Spine to Spine-connected Patient Administration Systems. Finally not all prisons use a dedicated HMP practice.
Providers should record the place of permanent detention as the place of usual residence for any patient referred for secondary care from a place of secure accommodation.

Providers should also ensure that the CDS field SOURCE OF ADMISSION CODE (HOSPITAL PROVIDER SPELL) is populated with the value ‘39’ (penal establishment, court, or police station) for any patients who have been admitted from a prison. Any patient whose postcode of place of usual residence is one of these institutions listed in Appendix F and whose admission source is a prison, court or police station will be deemed to be part of the eligible health and justice population. It is acknowledged that for the ~ 5% of institutions that do not have a unique postcode then there is a small risk of incorrect allocation using this methodology. However since full address data does not flow in the CDS where there is a valid NHS Number there is currently no other unequivocal identification method.

Ten NHS England Regional Geographies are responsible for health and justice commissioning (see Appendix A).

This has been used to construct a mapping table (Appendix F) which shows which of the 10 NHS England Regional Geographies are responsible for which prison/detention centre.

Please note, in cases where prisoners are transferred from one hospital provider to another hospital provider, the SOURCE OF ADMISSION CODE (HOSPITAL PROVIDER SPELL) field will no longer be ‘39’ in the second provider.

Structure of the Matrix
Each row of the matrix describes one of the 13 NHS England regional teams. The matrix columns then provide further information for each as follows:
• Column 1 – Region Name • Column 2 – Region (Geography) Name • Column 3 – Region (Geography) ODS Code • Column 4 – Commissioning hub Name • Column 5 – Commissioning hub ODS Code
Columns 6-18 describe the direct commissioning responsibilities of each of the 13 NHS England regional teams, which organisation codes should be used in commissioning data sets to differentiate these responsibilities and, where relevant, what the invoicing arrangements are for directly-commissioned services. This information is broken down by the different service types commissioned by NHS England as follows:
• Columns 6-8 - Specialised Services • Columns 9-11 - Armed Forces Health • Columns 12-13 - Health and Justice • Columns 14-17 - Secondary Dental, Public Health and Primary Care.
Matrix Columns 6-8: Specialised Services
Ten NHS England regional teams are designated as Specialised Commissioning Hubs responsible for commissioning specialised services and these are designated by a corresponding tick in column 6. Column 8 describes the names of the Specialised Commissioning Hubs. Data processors and providers should use the relevant regional Commissioning hub code stated in column 7 (format nnA, e.g. ‘13X’) to designate this responsibility in commissioning data sets for both contracted and non-contracted activity. The same code and naming convention should also be used on provider invoices for specialised care in line with the NHS England SBS letter (Gateway Reference 03227).
The organisation code of the NHS England Region (Geography) (format Qnn) should not be used to designate specialised commissioning responsibility in commissioning data sets and on invoices.
The 10 NHS England regional teams responsible for specialised commissioning do so on a named provider basis, with each regional team having contracts with designated specialised service providers within the UK. It is possible that the application of the identification rules for specialised services30 by some providers might indicate that specialised care has been provided by a hospital that does not have a contract with one of the 10 Specialised Commissioning Hubs.
In these scenarios the responsible CCG for the relevant patient will be responsible for paying for the care as NHS England does not recognise specialised care if it has been delivered by a non-contracted provider, i.e. there is no such thing as non-contracted specialised activity. The responsible CCG is the CCG that the patient’s registered GP belongs to or, for patients who are not registered with any GP, the CCG within which the patient is usually resident.

Matrix Columns 9-11: Armed Forces
Three NHS England regional teams are responsible for commissioning healthcare services for the eligible armed forces population and these regional teams are designated by a corresponding tick in column 10. The three regional teams act as a single commissioner and do not need their individual organisational identities to be recorded in commissioning data sets. Column 11 states that Providers should use the code for the National Commissioning hub 1 (‘13Q’) to designate this responsibility in any commissioning data set record describing armed forces health activity.
The ‘13Q’ code should not be recorded on any provider invoices for NHS England armed forces health activity, as the 3 regional teams responsible for armed forces health still hold individual financial allocations. The letter from NHS England Shared Business Services ‘Important changes to invoicing and payment arrangements for NHS England’ (Gateway Reference 03227) requires providers to use the NHS England Region (Geography) codes (format Qnn) on any invoices pertaining to non-specialised NHS England-commissioned activity.
Column 12 in the matrix describes the invoicing arrangements for armed forces health activity. Providers located within NHS England – North should codify armed forces health invoices with the NHS England North (Yorkshire and Humber) Region (Geography) code ‘Q72’; Providers located within NHS England Midlands and East should codify armed forces health invoices with the NHS England Midlands and East (North Midlands) Region (Geography) code ‘Q76’ and Providers located within either NHS England South or NHS England London should codify armed forces health invoices with the NHS England South (South Central) Region (Geography) code ‘Q82’.
Matrix Columns 12-13: Health and Justice
Ten NHS England regional teams are responsible for commissioning healthcare services for the eligible health and justice population and these regional teams are designated by a corresponding tick in column 13. Data processors and providers should use the relevant NHS England Region (Geography) code (format Qnn) stated in column 14 to designate this responsibility in commissioning data sets.
The same code should also be used on provider invoices for Health and Justice activity in line with the letter from NHS England Shared Business Services ‘Important changes to invoicing and payment arrangements for NHS England’ (Gateway Reference 03227) which asks providers to use the NHS England Region (Geography) codes (format Qnn) on any invoices pertaining to non-specialised NHS England-commissioned activity.
Matrix Columns 14-15: Secondary Dental
All 13 NHS England regional teams are responsible for commissioning secondary dental healthcare services. Data processors and providers should use the relevant NHS England Region (Geography) code (format Qnn) stated in column 16 to designate this responsibility in commissioning data sets.
The same code should also be used on provider invoices for Health in Justice activity in line with the letter from NHS England Shared Business Services ‘Important changes to invoicing and payment arrangements for NHS England’ (Gateway Reference 03227) which asks providers to use the NHS England Region (Geography) codes on any invoices pertaining to non-specialised NHS England-commissioned activity.
54
Matrix Columns 16-17: Public Health and Primary Care
All 13 NHS England regional teams are responsible for commissioning Public Health (section 7a) and Primary Care services. Data processors and providers should use the relevant NHS England Region (Geography) code stated in column 3 to designate this responsibility in commissioning data sets.
The same code should also be used on provider invoices for public health and primary activity in line with the letter from NHS England Shared Business Services ‘Important changes to invoicing and payment arrangements for NHS England’ (Gateway Reference 03227) which asks providers to use the NHS England Region (Geography) codes on any invoices pertaining to non-specialised NHS England-commissioned activity.

14 Appendix C - Specialised Services Cross Border Flows within the UK
Whilst NHS England predominantly commissions specialised care from English providers for English-resident patients it also commissions some specialist services from providers within devolved administrations, for both English and non-English UK residents and it also pays for some specialised care delivered to non-English UK residents by English specialised services providers. These exceptions are described in more detail below.

15 Appendix D – Mapping Table to Identify Secondary Dental Activity
Treatment Function Code Mapping of GDC definitions of dental specialties defined as being NHS England Commissioning Responsibility in Appendix A of ‘Securing Excellence in Commissioning NHS Dental Services’
The table below describes how secondary care dental activity can be identified in commissioning data sets predominantly via treatment function code mapping, as part of the wider Commissioner Assignment Method. It needs to be used as part of this process, as secondary dental activity needs to be identified in line with the agreed commissioning hierarchy for NHS England directly-commissioned services, as some activity in these treatment function codes will be specialised activity (via provider, patient age and clinical coding look-ups as per specialised services identification rules). Not all secondary dental activity can be currently identified by treatment function codes (specifically special care dentistry) and the dental element of oral maxillofacial surgery (and possibly paediatric maxillofacial surgery) will need to isolated from the non-dental element at some future date when pathways have been agreed by commissioners and providers (see notes below).

Oral and maxillofacial surgery
Involves the diagnosis and treatment of any disease affecting the mouth, jaws, face and neck. This includes surgical dentistry (impacted teeth, dental cysts, dental implants etc.), injuries to the face, salivary gland problems, cancers of the head and neck, facial deformity, oral medicine, (ulcers, red/white patches, mouth cancer), facial pain and temporo-mandibular joint disorders. Not considered a dental specialty, but encompasses significant oral surgery elements that would be considered NHS CB remit. NHS CB will work in collaboration with CCGs to commission these services from April 2013 aligned to oral surgery services, for a transitional period to enable ‘unravelling’ of procedures, coding and pathways, after which it will transfer to CCG6
Maxillo-Facial Surgery

Notes:
1 Special care dentistry does not have a treatment function code but is a main specialty code (451). An analysis of national SUS data has revealed that no SUS activity has been attributed to this main specialty code by providers. Further analysis has been carried out to identify whether this work is carried out in other (dental or other) specialties and whether non-primary diagnostic ICD-10 codes can differentiate it from other dental activity (if this is required for commissioning purposes). This work has indicated that secondary diagnosis codes could be used to differentiate the
81
special care dentistry activity within other dental specialties at some future date, if required.
2 Whilst this specialty is not explicitly mentioned in the Securing Excellence document the inclusion of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (see below) suggests that Paediatric Maxillofacial Surgery needs to be added to the inclusion list as Paediatric Dentistry is within scope. If so the same medium to longer term follow-on work may be needed to separate out the dental element of Paediatric Maxillofacial Surgery.
3 Oral microbiology does not have a treatment function but this is a diagnostic service and Admitted Patient Care and Outpatient activity is extremely unlikely to have any activity attributed to this specialty
4 Oral and maxillofacial pathology does not have a treatment function but this is a diagnostic service and Admitted Patient Care and Outpatient activity is extremely unlikely to have any activity attributed to this specialty
5 Dental and maxillofacial radiology does not have a treatment function but this is a diagnostic service and Admitted Patient Care and Outpatient activity is extremely unlikely to have any activity attributed to this specialty
6 It will not be viable for TFC 144 to be associated entirely with secondary dental in perpetuity as the non-dental activity within 144 will need to be identified separately and allocated to a CCG commissioner code and not NHS England. This will need to be achieved via the use of ICD-10 and OPCS4 code combinations, which will be specified at a later date.

16 Appendix E – Identification of Correct Commissioning Organisation for Infertility Care
A very small number of patients each year (<10) will receive infertility care funded by NHS England under the special rules governing members of the armed forces, their dependents and veterans.
NHS England uses the following algorithm to determine whether an infertility patient should be funded by this route (see diagram below).
83
Providers will be contacted directly by NHS England before patients receive the treatment and advised whether NHS England will fund the care or whether the patient’s CCG will be responsible. For this reason it is not possible to provide a definitive and consistent means of identifying commissioner for this activity. Therefore providers are advised to use a default of the responsible CCG (as this will be true in the vast majority of cases), and only change this to NHS England if advised otherwise by direct communication before treatment commences.
