Upcoming changes to the PBS authority prescription process
Services Australia has advised of important changes being made to the PBS authority prescription process from 1 July.
Important changes are being made to the PBS authority prescription process from July 1.
Services Australia has released the following statement, which will be of interest to AMA members.
From 1 July 2024, Services Australia will no longer accept the original prescriptions. We will only accept details of the proposed PBS prescription (and PDF form where appropriate) when seeking PBS authority approval via the post. We won't record the Authority Approval Number on the prescription or forward approved prescriptions to the patient. Where applicable, please ensure you keep a copy of the written authority application form and provide only copies of pathology results.
