Element <pbs:benefit-type>

Belongs to http://schema.pbs.gov.au/ XML Namespace. Defined in PBS XML Schema grammar.

This is a complex type of element.

When used in a prescribing rule, determines the circumstances under which a prescriber may prescribe a medicine and the assessment required by a prescriber and DHS. When used in an increase, determines the rules for administering increases over the maximum prescribable or number of repeats.

See also Benefit Type, restriction level, Benefit Type: unrestricted, Benefit Type: restricted, Benefit Type: authority required, Benefit Type: authority required: streamlined (self assessed), Benefit Type: none

Terminology

This element may reference terminology concepts from the Benefit Type (http://pbs.gov.au/benefit-type) class of concepts. This class of concepts includes:

Contains

The benefit-type element.

Content for the benefit-type element.

All of the following (in any order):

pbs:member-of-list

The list of prescriber types.

Optionally:

pbs:restriction-references-list

Restrictions for the prescribing of the medicine. At least one restriction is required for restricted, streamlined and authority-required restriction levels. A restriction may include a more precise specification of the prescriber. Prescribing texts (notes and cautions) are included either directly in the prescribing rule or in the restriction. NB. when the benefit-type is used in an increase, these are "rules" that guide the authorisation of the increase rather than "restrictions". The history of changes to restrictions (and therefore also Streamlined Authority Codes) are retained for 12 months.

pbs:effective

The date when this benefit-type became effective.

Optionally:

pbs:non-effective

The date when this benefit-type became non-effective.

Pattern pbs.forward-compatibility

For future extension.
