The NHSBSA provides a number of key services to the NHS and the public. These include:

- NHS Dental Services: This manages payments to dentists for NHS dental work and provides the NHS with dental data to support the management and planning of NHS dental services.
- NHS Pensions: This administers the NHS Pension Scheme and NHS Injury Benefits Scheme for the UK.
