How to Extend an NHS Contract

By default, NHS contracts are set to auto-extend. If this option was deselected when the contract was created, the contract can be manually extended.

To manually extend a contract:

1. From the Administration tab, click Contracts. The NHS Contracts list is displayed for the selected location.
   
   Note: You can change the selected location from the for drop-down list in the upper left corner.
2. On the left side of the window, click the contract you want to extend. The contract is displayed.
   
3. Under Actions, click Extend Selected Contract. The Extend Contract window is displayed.
4. Confirm the Contract Start Date and Contract End Date. NHS contracts ordinarily run from April 1st until March 31st the next year.
5. Set a UDA target in the Contract UDA Target field, if needed.
6. Set a UOA Target in the Contract UOA Target field, if needed. See How to Work with NHS Orthodontic Claims for more information. 
7. Add or remove performers to the contract under the Contract Performers section by clicking Add Performer to add a user, or the Remove link next to an existing performer if they are no longer required on the contract.
   
8. Click Extend Contract.
