Electronic prescriptions. A new fee of $0.15 per transaction will be paid to pharmacists for dispensing of PBS, RPBS and undercopayment prescriptions that are generated electronically by prescribers, equating to $75.5m over the life of the Fifth Agreement. The fee will offset some of the costs charged to pharmacists by prescription exchange service providers which is currently approximately $0.25 per prescription. The fee will only be paid for: • each electronic prescription generated electronically by prescribers, processed through a prescription exchange service in accordance with the specifications of the National e-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) and claimed for by community pharmacy using PBS Online; and • f NEHTA specifications change or a Commonwealth approved individual electronic health record becomes available, the criteria may be reviewed, in the interests of obtaining as much information as possible about dispensed prescriptions. Having a secure system for the electronic transmission of prescriptions is a critical step in the Government’s e-health agenda. In the initial stages the paper prescription will continue to be provided, however, this initiative is a large step in the move to a paper-free health care environment. Additionally, electronically processed prescriptions can decrease prescription interpretation and transcription errors, and therefore increase patient safety. Community Service Obligation (CSO) The CSO arrangements were introduced as part of the Fourth Agreement to ensure the timely supply of PBS medicines to community pharmacies across Australia. Through the CSO payments are made to eligible pharmaceutical wholesalers (called CSO distributors) who meet the CSO requirements, which assist in making it commercially viable for CSO distributors to supply the full range of PBS medicines across Australia in a timely way. Funding of $949.5m will be provided for the CSO funding pool over the life of the Fifth Agreement, compared to $663.4m over the life of the Fourth Agreement. Savings of $19.2m will be obtained by not applying indexation in 2010-11. The Department may make administrative changes during the Fifth Agreement to improve the efficiency of the CSO, including extending invitations to wholesalers to apply to participate.
