ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER)

ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) is the same as attribute ORGANISATION CODE.

ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER) is the ORGANISATION CODE  of the ORGANISATION  commissioning health care.

For Commissioning Data Sets, the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER)  should always be the ORGANISATION CODE of the original commissioner to support the National Tariff Payment System.

The NHS England  document  "Who Pays? Determining responsibility for NHS payments to providers"  sets out a framework for establishing responsibility for commissioning and paying for a PATIENT's care within the NHS.

The document includes information on the following:

• General Rules

• Applying the rules to Integrated Care Board  and NHS England  commissioned SERVICES

• Exceptions to the general rules

• Examples to help clarify the boundaries of responsibility between commissioning ORGANISATIONS.

For further information on this document contact: england.responsiblecommissioner@nhs.net.

Where NHS England is the responsible commissioner for a specialised SERVICE, based on the NHS England Commissioner Assignment Method (CAM), one of the Specialised Commissioning Hub   ORGANISATION CODES should be used depending on which Health Care Provider delivered the SERVICE, e.g.  NHS Trust, Independent Sector Healthcare Provider.

The NHS England  website provides a mapping list of which Health Care Providers map to which  Specialised Commissioning Hub. The mapping can be found on the Organisation Data Service web pages at: Provider to Commissioning Hub Mapping.

ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER)  will be replaced with ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (CODE OF COMMISSIONER), which is the most recent approved national information standard to describe the required definition.
