TO ENSURE DAA funding remains within the 2017-18 budget the following applies:
* All Approved DAA Service Providers will be allocated an individual cap based on previous DAA Service volumes recorded and claimed under the Pharmacy Practice Incentive Program prior to 30 June 2017.
* Approved DAA Service providers who recorded and claimed greater than 200 DAAs per patient per week under the Pharmacy Practice Incentive Program prior to 30 June 2017 will receive an upper limit cap of 200 DAAs.
The caps for pharmacies are being calculated and will be based on the PPI Claiming periods from June 2016 to May 2017.
From 1 July 2017, all patients must meet eligibility criteria defined in the DAA Program Rules.
The minimum number of DAAs allocated to a pharmacy is 10 patients per week.
Note: Special capping arrangements at a level of no more than 60% of previous DAA service volumes recorded and claimed under the Pharmacy Practice Incentive Program prior to 30 June 2017 may be put in place for Approved DAA Service Providers who previously recorded and claimed greater than 400 DAAs.
Caps will be monitored and may be modified to ensure the funding does not exceed $100 million.
