My main message with the patient prescribes Symbicort on the PBS is that you
can't. A non asthmatic must get a private script. An asthmatic on no
treatment also can't get Symbicort (& Seretide) on the PBS.
i understand that
Spelling errors occur simply because I don't spell check my posts, and I
type inbetween seeing patients - yet I still have enough time to read the
PBS requirements for all drugs.
i read them only for the drugs i prescribe ;-)
You asks at end Helps what? Well Dr's that get caught prescribing RB or
Authority drugs on PBS outside guidelines, has to pay the money back. After
such a big payment back to HIC, these Dr. are very carefuk afterwards.
agree this is worthwhile "education" but would be amazed if the majority
of situations where the prescription is outside of guidelines ever get
flagged, let alone prosecuted
it is more akin to getting al capone for tax evasion - it is leverage to
prosecute where you have it in for someone for other less provable reasons
