MEDICATION MANAGEMENT REVIEWS

Participation by a medical practitioner (including a general practitioner, but not including a specialist or consultant physician) in a Domiciliary Medication Management Review (DMMR) for patients living in the community setting, where the medical practitioner:

-    assesses a patient's medication management needs, and following that assessment, refers the patient to a community pharmacy for a DMMR, and provides  relevant clinical information required for the review, with the patient's consent; and
-    discusses with the reviewing pharmacist the results of that review including suggested medication management strategies; and
-    develops a written medication management plan following discussion with the patient.

Benefits under this item are payable not more than once in each 12 month period, except where there has been a significant change in the patient's condition or medication regimen requiring a new DMMR.
