Pharmacy Daily | PBS via EFT only

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is encouraging healthcare professionals to support their patients by helping them prepare for the 01 Jul PBS patient refund conversion to EFT payments only. All PBS patient refund cheques and EFTPOS refunds at service centres will cease on that date, with only the EFT option available. Patients need to register their bank account details to avoid delays in payouts. The PBS Patient Refund Claim Form (PB132) has been updated to capture bank account details and is available on the department’s website, found by CLICKING HERE. Any claims submitted after 01 Jul 2016 using the old PBS Patient Refund Claim Form will be rejected so that a new claim using the updated form with a completed bank details section will need to be submitted. Forms for health professionals can be sourced at the website of the Department of Human Services - www.humanservices.gov.au.
