Influenza Vaccination Late Claims	We have been notified that a few practices may have not submitted their influenza vaccination claims on time and before the portal was closed and therefore have not been paid for work done.

PHO Enrolment – behind the scenes	Enrolling a patient to a practice is an important (and can be a complex) process and incorrect information loaded into the PMS may have an impact on practice administration and funding, as well as a frustration for the patient. We are pleased to publish an important resource for practices that provides all the necessary information for Practice Managers and Practice Administration staff to teach and/or understand everything there is to know about enrolling a patient PHO Enrolment “Behind the Scenes”. We recommend that new staff (and those who may need a refresher) go through the information, which is presented in an easy read and follow format. Please contact Erin@aucklandpho.co.nz if you would like her to present to your team or to a new staff member, or if you have any questions.
