Introduction to Benefits Scheme

What is/are Benefits Scheme?

Benefits Scheme - Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective price comparison study examined prices paid by government entities in the United States (Medicare) and Australia (Pharmaceuticals and Benefits Scheme). ^[1] The system hoped to attract persons and organizations operating in the informal economy and begin incorporating new taxpayers in a benefits scheme that, in the beginning, would represent an expense for the public treasury. ^[2] The government has proposed replacing collective defined-benefits schemes with personal accounts, and abolishing uniform premia and constant accrual rates. ^[3] Hence, equitable salary and benefits schemes are prerequisites to effective retention of employees. ^[4]

10 % sample

METHODS A retrospective study using the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme database of a representative 10% sample. ^[1] METHODS We used Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme claims from a random 10% sample of Medicare beneficiaries. ^[2] METHODS A retrospective pharmaceutical claims database study was undertaken, using the Department of Human Services Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme 10% sample. ^[3] MethodsThe study population included all individuals in a 10% sample of national data from the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) who purchased a prescription of ART during 2016. ^[4] We used a nationally representative 10% sample of 2016 Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) dispensing data to compare the proportions of antiretroviral therapy (ART)-purchasing and non-ART purchasing patients who also purchased prescriptions for medical comorbidities. ^[5] Setting Calls taken by the New South Wales and Victorian Poisons Information Centres (2006–2016, accounting for 70% of Australian poisoning calls); medicine dispensings in the 10% sample of Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data (July 2012 to June 2016). ^[6] DESIGN AND SETTING Population-based retrospective cohort study of dispensings in the 10% sample of Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (July 2012-February 2017); intentional poisoning calls to New South Wales Poisons Information Centre (NSWPIC) (2004-2016); intentional poisonings in two Australian toxicology service databases; and poisoning fatalities in NSW coronial records (2005-2016). ^[7] Methods The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) 10% sample supplied by the Department of Human Services was used in this study. ^[8] PARTICIPANTS People initiating opioid analgesics from July 2013 to January 2018 were identified from a random 10% sample of Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme eligible population. ^[9] Methods: we conducted a study using the Australian Government Department of Veterans’ Affairs administrative claims data and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) 10% sample data. ^[10]

Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme

Further linkages to Medicare Benefits Schedule, Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and social care datasets are planned. ^[1] Pharmacoepidemiological analyses were performed using pharmacy dispensing data from Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. ^[2] Similarly a system for medications, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) subsidises the cost of medicines for most medical conditions. ^[3] We obtained data on dispensed prescriptions of antibiotics from registered dentists subsidised on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. ^[4] Suggestions for future research Future research will link the survey results to Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, hospital and ED datasets to enable insights into use of services and health outcomes. ^[5] METHODS A sequence symmetry analysis (SSA) approach was applied to the Australian Department of Human Services, Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme 10% extract. ^[6] Transdermal fentanyl utilisation was examined using Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme dispensing records. ^[7] METHODS We used person-linked hospital administrative and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data to identify incident ACS admissions between 2005 and 2008 in Western Australia and prescription medicine use, respectively. ^[8] Based on findings of this safety review, the TGA is liaising with professional colleges in Australia and exploring potential analysis of linked Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), Medicare Benefits Schedule, hospital and death data. ^[9] The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the characteristics of patients prescribed direct acting antiviral (DAA) medicines have changed since initial listing of the medicines on the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). ^[10] The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data provided detailed information about prescribed medications. ^[11] Objectives In Australia, therapeutic interchange of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors could generate savings for patients and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). ^[12] Recent Monash led research using Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data for 2013 to 2018 found that approximately 3 million Australians adults use opioids each year and approximately 1. ^[13] We aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML)-based models using medication data from Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) database to predict obesity and smoking. ^[14] The model adhered to the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme eligibility criteria and guidelines. ^[15] Methods Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data covering the period 2003–14 were used. ^[16] The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is a national list of prescription pharmaceuticals for which the patient pays a small copayment. ^[17] METHODS A retrospective study using the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme database of a representative 10% sample. ^[18] Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data, from Services Australia, were linked to survey, hospital and death data by the NSW Centre for Health Record Linkage. ^[19] Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) opioid prescriptions in Australia have increased from 2. ^[20] The cost analysis, which used data from a total of 1274 iron infusions prescribed at Royal Hobart Hospital in 2018, showed that FCM infusions were associated with the lowest cost at all dose points when Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) subsidies applied, with total direct costs ranging from $A16. ^[21] Australian patients were divided into those who were eligible for reduced prescription charges under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, such as the elderly or those on low incomes (referred to as concessions), and those who were not (general patients). ^[22] METHODS We obtained data of dispensed use of DMTs from the Australian Government's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) administered by Medicare Australia. ^[23] Recent changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme are designed to help better identify patients who need oxycodone on discharge and the quantity to prescribe, rather than default prescribing. ^[24] Methods: Families of potential ADHD cases aged between 6 and 11 years old were identified using Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) prescription records for ADHD medications held by the Department of Human Services and sent a study information letter. ^[25] Prior to Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme funding, ̃800 patients participated in the ribociclib Medicine Access Program (MAP) from May 2017 to June 2018. ^[26] Refugees with a permanent resident visa are entitled to live and work in Australia and have access to Government subsidised healthcare through schemes such as Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS); however, the ability of refugees to access mainstream health services, including community pharmacy and medication, may be limited. ^[27] In Australia, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme currently restricts growth hormone therapy to patients who are not being actively treated for cancer, including those receiving targeted therapies. ^[28] Patients from a Western Australian cardiovascular population who were supplied with NSAIDs between 1 Jan 2003 and 31 Dec 2004 were identified from Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data. ^[29] METHODS The Australian Cancer database was linked to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data and the National Death Index. ^[30] Linked Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data determined the use of oral anticoagulants and comorbid conditions, included in CHA2DS2-VA (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes, Stroke or TIA, Vascular disease and Age 65–74 years) score calculation, were assessed using state-based hospital admissions data. ^[31] Future plans With the recent linking of the SMART Registry with Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data through the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, research into prescribing patterns and health system utilisation is currently underway. ^[32] We combine detailed individual data on physician and practice style characteristics from the Medicine in Australia: Balancing Employment and Life (MABEL) panel survey of Australian physicians with administrative prescribing data from the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) for the period January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2015. ^[33] Methods: A pragmatic non-randomised controlled study assessed differences between patients enrolled in the programme (intervention group) and patients who received usual care (control group), in health service utilisation, including Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme claims, patient-reported outcome measures, including health-related quality of life, mortality risk, and cost. ^[34] We aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML)-based models using medication data from Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) database to predict obesity and smoking. ^[35] Objectives In Australia, patient costs for multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are government-subsidised under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). ^[36] METHODS We used Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme claims from a random 10% sample of Medicare beneficiaries. ^[37] Objective To estimate the longitudinal incidence and prevalence of drug treated (DT) diabetes in Australia utilising an Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) dataset and compare estimates with community survey data for all diabetes reported in the Australian National Health Survey (NHS). ^[38] In Australia, highly effective directacting antiviral (DAA) therapy has been available for people with chronic hepatitis C through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) since March 2016. ^[39] Setting Older Australian women aged 79–84 years in 2005 who had at least one Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme record, received a service in aged care, and consented to data linkage. ^[40] Design and Setting: The 45 and Up Study is a prospective population-based cohort study in NSW, Australia with questionnaire data linked to hospital records by the Centre for Health Record Linkage (CHeReL) and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) data provided by Department of Human Services. ^[41] Hepatitis C treatment is funded through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, part of Australia’s universal health care system. ^[42] Their use since Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme approval in Australia has increased drastically, possibly due to the low risk of hypoglycemic events and their advertised cardiovascular mortality benefits. ^[43] Here we catalogued research leveraging Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data (2014–2018) and discussed these outputs in the context of previously implemented and new data reforms. ^[44] The Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) has subsidised biological therapy since 2003. ^[45] Objectives: To investigate the impact of COVID-19 on medications prescribed by dentists under the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). ^[46] METHODS medication data were obtained from the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. ^[47] The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) subsidises public medication costs in Australia. ^[48] BACKGROUND Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective method of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention available to prescribe on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme general schedule. ^[49] METHODS Individuals with dispensed AAI were identified from a 10% random sample of Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data. ^[50]

Medicare Benefits Scheme

Corneal abrasions are not accorded an item number under the Medicare Benefits Scheme, but chloramphenicol may be prescribed prophylactically for these presentations. ^[1] Attendance at the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) supported indigenous health checks are crucial to improve prevention and management of chronic health conditions. ^[2] Methods The data set was obtained from the Medicare Benefits Scheme and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme service information in the period between 2004 and 2014, released by the Department of Health Australia in 2016. ^[3] We examined the LTS of persons following successful AAA repair using administrative health data covering the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits and Medicare Benefits Schemes from 1993 to 2014. ^[4] was also a paid member of the Australian governments Medicare Benefits Scheme taskforce on assisted reproductive technologies in 2017. ^[5] OBJECTIVE This project uses publically available activity data from the Medicare Benefits Scheme to quantify the uptake of videoconference for psychology resulting from the initiative change. ^[6] In this study, we proposed a graph or network-based approach to understand polypharmacy utilizing the 10% Pharmaceutical and Medicare Benefits Scheme sample data in Australian healthcare context. ^[7]

Medical Benefits Scheme

,Civil Servant Medical Benefits Scheme (CSMBS) provided more generous access to PM than Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) and Social Security Scheme (SSS). ^[1] The Medical Benefits Scheme item number 35534 (vulvoplasty or labiaplasty) can only be claimed ‘in a patient aged 18 years or more for a structural abnormality that is causing significant functional impairment, if the patient's labium extends more than 8 cm below the vaginal introitus while the patient is in a standing resting position’. ^[2] Universal entitlement to subsidies for medical services came into effect from 1 February 1984 after the Hawke Government passed legislation to establish a medical benefits scheme. ^[3] A list of organizational, management, and clinical steps that are crucial for creating an effective breast cancer screening program as part of the state medical benefits scheme in Moscow is presented. ^[4] We have used a publicly available sample of the Australian pharmaceutical and health service provision (medical benefits scheme) databases to assess outcomes following parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). ^[5]

benefits scheme datum

METHODS We used person-linked hospital administrative and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data to identify incident ACS admissions between 2005 and 2008 in Western Australia and prescription medicine use, respectively. ^[1] Recent Monash led research using Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data for 2013 to 2018 found that approximately 3 million Australians adults use opioids each year and approximately 1. ^[2] Methods Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data covering the period 2003–14 were used. ^[3] Patients from a Western Australian cardiovascular population who were supplied with NSAIDs between 1 Jan 2003 and 31 Dec 2004 were identified from Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data. ^[4] METHODS The Australian Cancer database was linked to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data and the National Death Index. ^[5] Future plans With the recent linking of the SMART Registry with Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data through the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, research into prescribing patterns and health system utilisation is currently underway. ^[6] Women aged 77-82 years in 2003, and 91-96 years in 2017 were analysed, linking the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data to participants' survey data. ^[7] Patients from a Western Australian cardiovascular population who were supplied with NSAIDs between 1 Jan 2003 and 31 Dec 2004 were identified from Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data. ^[8] Setting Calls taken by the New South Wales and Victorian Poisons Information Centres (2006–2016, accounting for 70% of Australian poisoning calls); medicine dispensings in the 10% sample of Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data (July 2012 to June 2016). ^[9] Methods We conducted our validation study using Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) client data linked with the New South Wales (NSW) Cancer Registry and Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data. ^[10] Healthcare utilisation will be measured for 12 months prior to, during and 12 months after trial participation using linked data from Medicare Benefits Schedule and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data. ^[11]

benefits scheme record
