Recent Generic launches
The time it is taking for newly launched generics to be added to Category M, and subsequently having their
DT price cut is reducing. This is why maximising on the generic profit opportunities is so important to your
practices’ profitability.
Below are a few of examples of how reimbursement prices are slashed when newly launched generics are
added to Category M.

As these are generic listings with PHOENIX, they will count towards your APM spend and could therefore
increase the APM rebate that we pay your practice each month.
There will be more generic launches coming in the next few months, so please keep checking the Top Tips
and our monthly eNewsletter for this information.
