Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) - Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Report - Excel PBS ATC Report 2016 (YTD)

This report is updated monthly and contains data to 31 July 2016 Only.
Statistics are supplied for both the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (PBS) and Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (RPBS, ie. items supplied to war veterans).
The figures reported relate to the value (benefit) or volume (services) of PBS and RPBS services that have been processed by Medicare Australia. They refer only to paid services processed from claims presented by approved pharmacies. They do not include any adjustments made against pharmacists' claims, any manually paid claims or any benefits paid as a result of retrospective entitlement or refund of patient contributions.
The figures contain "Special Arrangements" items, which refers to items that are supplied to patients via an alternative method when supply through a community pharmacy is not appropriate or efficient for the patient. Read more about Special Arrangements on the PBS website.
State/Territory is determined according to the address of the pharmacy supplying the item.
Further information about patient contributions under the PBS may be found in the attached metadata. Patient contribution rates are usually adjusted on 1 January each year. These rates are found in the current Schedule of Pharmaceutical Benefits.
Only items contained in the Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule appear in these statistics. Items supplied to general patients, costing less than the general patient contribution, do not receive a PBS benefit and are therefore not included.
Month is determined by the date the service was processed by Medicare Australia, not the date of prescribing or the date of supply by the pharmacy. Monthly figures may vary due to the varying number of processing days in a month, which depends on the number of days in the month, public holidays, overtime worked etc.
