✨ Pharmaceutical Claims Technical Specifications

27 APRIL NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 1003

57 Dose

The [Dose] contains the amount of units prescribed to be used at each use.
The units should be expressed in the [Dose Unit of Measure] as defined by Pharmac.
Where the [Dose] are not able to be expressed, such as in the case of “Take as needed” or PRNs, this field should be set to “0”.
Where [Dose] is set to 0 [Dose Flag] should be set to Y.
Where the number of units is a range, the higher amount should be used.

58 Daily Dose (Base Units Per Day)

The [Daily Dose] contains the amount of units prescribed to be used per day.
The units should be expressed in the [Dose Unit of Measure] as defined by Pharmac.
Where the [Daily Dose] are not able to be expressed, such as in the case of “Take as needed” or PRNs, this field should set to “0”.
Where [Daily Dose] is set to 0 [Dose Flag] should be set to Y.
Where the number of units is a range, the higher amount should be used.

Programmer Note

If the units are spread over alternate days, eg, every other day, or Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the value should represent this:

For example, one unit every other day will equate to 0.5 of a unit

For example, Monday, Wednesday and Friday will equate to 0.4285.

As this field requires data expressed to 4 decimal places with no decimal points, 0.5 of a unit would appear in the data file as 5000, and 0.4285 would appear as 4285.

59 Dose Unit of Measure (Base Unit of Measure)

The [Dose Unit of Measure] must contain the Pharmac definition of the Unit of Measure used in the calculations for fields [Dose] and [Daily Dose].
This should be the allocated [Dose Unit of Measure] for the Pharmacode dispensed.
This should be the allocated [Dose Unit of Measure] relating to the [Claim Code] dispensed.

Pharmac Note

The [Dose Unit of Measure] refers to the [Strength Per Pack] field from the [Presentation Reference] table of the schedule database available from Pharmac.
