Drug Tariff Information

Over the last couple of years, we have seen
the number of concessions consistently
exceed 130 products per month. The last time
it was below this was in July 2022 when 94
products were granted a concessionary price.
Due to the ongoing market volatility, we
wanted to develop something that allows
members to have visibility of which products
they are ordering that are above Drug Tariff.
So, in July 2023, the Drug Tariff tab was added
to the PSUK Portal.

In addition to the Drug Tariff tab being added,
you can also see if a product is over DT
before ordering. When creating an order and
using the search function on the PSUK Portal,
if a product is above DT, you will see the
Over-DT flag next to the pricing information.
As with the Drug Tariff tab itself, at the start
of the month you will see more products

also changes depending on the time of day
you are placing your order. For example, if
you are creating an order in the afternoon,
the system now looks at stock in your switch
depot as this is where the order will be fulfilled.

What’s Next?

We are continually looking at new ways we can enhance and develop APM and have recently
been working on several new features which we will be rolling out in 2025.

As ever, if you, our members have any ideas or suggestions on how we can improve APM, or
any of our other propositions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your PSUK Dispensing
Doctor Account Manager.
