NHS Injury Cost Recovery scheme

The new NHS Injury Costs Recovery (ICR) scheme came into force on 29th January 2007. The scheme replaces the current Road Traffic Act (RTA) scheme. The ICR scheme will expand the cases where the NHS can reclaim the cost of treating injured patients to all cases where personal injury compensation is paid

The NHS Injury Costs Recovery (ICR) scheme: Annual amendment in the tariff and ceiling of charges on 1 April 2009

Published: 02/03/2009

The tariff and ceiling on charges payable by compensators for the recovery of NHS charges under the NHS Injury Cost Recovery (ICR) scheme will be increasing on 1 April 2009. The increases will apply only to injuries sustained on or after that date. In addition, the regulations have also sought to amend the legislative anomaly whereby the compensators of overseas visitors who have had to pay for their NHS treatment are still liable for ICR recovery.
