THE Health Department has announced a correction to one of its listings in the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule 01 Jan 2017.
The listing for "clotrimazole 1% vaginal cream, 20g" is incorrectly described in the schedule.
The correct description omits the word "vaginal" as the cream descriptor, as in the previous listing for this item in the 01 Dec 2016 schedule which reads "clotrimazole 1% cream, 20g".
The PBS said the error will be amended as soon as possible.
MEANWHILE the PBS has updated its website with a long list of changes including pricing disclosure details, fees, patient contributions, Safety Net thresholds and PBS listings for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as well as an updated FAQ section and details from earlier in Dec 16 - CLICK HERE.
