Adalimumab PBS Changes for April 2021
New listings for adalimumab have been added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for 1 April 2021,
including a new Humira formulation (citrate free) and its biosimilars. The old Humira formulation and its PBS item
codes become Supply Only on the same date, with a change to how the PBS maximum quantity is presented to align
with the new listings.
Old Humira PBS Listings for Scripts Dated Prior to 1 April 2021
When supplying prescriptions for originals or repeats which were written prior to 1 April 2021, but
When supplying prescriptions for originals or repeats which were written prior to 1 April 2021, but
supplied on or after that date, you must update the quantity supplied to reflect the number of pens or syringes,
i.e. 4 or 6 as applicable, remembering to allow for broken packs. Previously, the same number of units was
represented as a quantity of 1 pack.
This applies to the following PBS codes.
