EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe collection of under co-payment prescription data for the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (RPBS) commenced on 1 April 2012.

During the first full financial year of the collection, from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013, the Department of Human Services (DHS) processed approximately 62 million under co-payment prescriptions. This equates to 22.7% of total PBS/RPBS prescriptions, slightly higher than the anticipated volume of 20%.

Data has been successfully collected from both community pharmacies and public and private hospitals. Analysis has shown that 99% of pharmacies and 94% of hospitals have submitted under co-payment prescriptions at some stage during the year. The data being collected is of a high quality, and pharmacies should be congratulated on implementing the collection so successfully.

The additional data is providing the Department of Health and other researchers with enhanced coverage of medicines that are approved and dispensed under the PBS/RPBS. It is improving the accuracy of information available to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) and others to support decision making and policy formulation.

BACKGROUND

Legislation

The collection of PBS/RPBS under co-payment prescription data was agreed to under the Fifth Community Pharmacy Agreement (5CPA), and announced in the 2010-11 Budget. Legislation enabling the data to be collected is provided for in the National Health Amendment (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) Act 2010 (the Amendment Bill). Supporting legislative instruments, made by the then Department of Health and Ageing and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, were registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments prior to 1 April 2012.

On 22 November 2010 as part of the second reading motion of the Amendment Bill in the Senate, Senator Siewert moved a second reading amendment in relation to the second reading motion for the National Health Amendment (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) Bill 2010 which stated that:

'...the Senate calls on the Government:(a) to ensure that there is an annual report to Parliament on all available data on under

co-payment products, including the drug name and form, the quantities dispensed;...'.

Hansard from the Senate indicates that this second reading amendment was agreed to (page 1799).

Data collection

As agreed under the 5CPA, the data being collected includes: the patient’s name; the patient’s Medicare Number; information about the prescription (including the date of prescribing and supply, the

PBS code number, the drug name and form, the quantity dispensed and the number of repeats);

the prescriber approval number; and the approved supplier name.

Pricing information is not being collected.

Approved suppliers go through similar steps when processing both subsidised and under co-payment prescriptions, using pharmaceutical dispensing software programmes. In providing under co-payment data pharmacists are not performing any additional work, apart from validation of essential information such as prescription dates, pharmacy identification, patient eligibility and medication details.

Funding of $2.9 million was provided in the 2010-11 Budget to assist pharmacy software vendors to make a number of changes to pharmacy IT systems relating to 5CPA programs, including changes to allow under co-payment data collection.

Under co-payment data is being collected and disclosed in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the secrecy provisions of the National Health Act 1953. The Office of the Information Commissioner has been advised of this.

Both the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the Department of Human Services have confirmed that no significant issues have been reported since the collection commenced. There were some initial difficulties with dispensing software at a small number of pharmacies and hospitals but these issues were resolved prior to 1 July 2012.
