eGOS update – Not yet moved to online GOS claims?

14 January 2021

 

 

Getting online is simple, to help you get started and to support you through the transition we have designed a number of resources for you. To access these resources or to find out what other contractors are saying about the online GOS claims service read more at the PCSE website here.

To find out more about online GOS claims – book your place on one of our webinars 

We are holding a  webinar on 19 January, hosted by Katrina Venerus, where you can find out more about the benefits of moving online and how to submit electronic GOS claims using PCSE Online. This is also your chance to ask questions and have us demonstrate any specific scenarios you would like to see.

Sign up to the webinar by clicking on the icon below:

 


If you can’t make the webinar, then this will be recorded and published on our YouTube channel the following week.

 

New style paper GOS forms available to order from 11 January 

If you are not able to submit GOS claims online by 1 February 2021 you will need to use the new style paper forms. Any claims for sight tests dated from 1 February 2021 onwards submitted on old forms will be rejected as they cannot be processed by PCSE.

If you need any supplies of new paper GOS forms, you will be able to order them from Monday 11 January 2021.

Current paper GOS forms for use up until 31 January 2021 can be ordered up until Sunday 10 January.

How to order new forms 

The forms will be available to order via the PCSE portal from Monday 11 January.

The current forms will no longer be available to order from this date.

Online GOS users – ordering paper forms 

Please note that, if you currently submit your claims online then you will only need a contingency stock of these new forms.
