MedsCheck rollout
July 17, 2012
THE national rollout of the
MedsCheck and Diabetes
MedsCheck is well underway
with the Department of
Human Services (Medicare)
now processing service
provider applications.
Pharmacies should not
provide services until the
pharmacy has received written
approval from Medicare.
Please note that approval as
a MedsCheck Services Provider
enables the pharmacy to
provide both MedsCheck and
Diabetes MedsCheck services.
To support the national
rollout, information and
resources have been
progressively released over the
past few weeks including
program specific guidelines,
the service provider
application form, payment
application form, professional
guidelines and frequently
asked questions (FAQs).
These are available from the
Fifth Community Pharmacy
Agreement website at
www.5cpa.com.au/medscheck
The FAQs – Getting Started
is a useful starting point.
Also, by 31 July all
pharmacies should receive
promotional material,
including posters, patient
leaflets and consumer
brochures for the MedsCheck
services.
