Pharmacy First in danger of being dropped over bundling of clinical services
The Pharmacy First scheme could be dropped by some providers over the requirement to bundle clinical services in order to receive threshold payments, according to the Company Chemists’ Association (CCA).
From Sunday (1), in line with the new funding contract, pharmacies will have to offer Pharmacy First, the Hypertension Case-Finding Service, and the Pharmacy Contraception Service to qualify for monthly threshold payments.
