UPDATE – Electronic Claiming Workbook (ECW)

ECW Version 3.1 fixes minor errors related to the drop-down boxes in version 3.0. Contractors should now use this version and discard any previous versions they may have saved.

Points to Note:

  • Please complete all sections of the Cover Sheet before entering data into any individual sheet. This will auto-populate relevant fields reducing workload for Contractors.
  • We have introduced drop-down lists across various claims.  This should cut down on input errors and make completion of the ECW easier for Contractors.  Please use these where they are provided.
  • The Hospital Discharge Service claim has been removed as this service has now come to an end in its current format.
  • There is no need to claim for attendance at Palliative Care Training events – payments will be made automatically using the attendance sheets from the session.

An updated User Guide can be found here.  If you are in any doubt how to complete the Workbook, please refer to the User Guide before submitting.  Failure to complete properly could result in delay to processing (and payment) of claims.
