Chemotherapy compounder ID mandatory within PBS claims
12 April 2018 - The inclusion of the Compounder ID field within a claim for eligible Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule (PBS) items listed under the Efficient Funding of Chemotherapy program became mandatory on 1 December 2017.
Approved suppliers (both community and hospital pharmacies) are responsible for ensuring that they have a Compounder ID for any eligible PBS Efficient Funding of Chemotherapy (EFC) item claimed through PBS online. This may be an ID particular to their pharmacy premises or that of an external compounder.
Claims for eligible EFC items submitted through PBS Online without a valid Compounder ID will not be paid.
