Maximum Dispensing Fee

As per Government Gazette No: 43145, dated 27 March 2020

The Dispensing fee changes as follows:

The appropriate dispensing fee as contemplated in the Act to be charged by persons licensed & must be calculated, exclusive of VAT, as follows:

(a) Where the SEP of a scheduled medicine is less than R128.00 the dispensing fee must not exceed 30% of the SEP 
(b) Where the SEP of a scheduled medicine is greater than or equal to R128.00 the dispensing fee shall not exceed R38.40 (exclusive VAT) and R44.16 (inclusive VAT).

 

To implement this in Medinol:

 

• Navigate to Medinol main menu, Processing, Command Prompt
• At the command prompt enter: SYSMAINT
• At the bottom of the first column, find the fields: Markup, Threshold and Fixed Amount
• Enter these as: Markup               = 30%
                              Threshold          = 128.00
                             Fixed Amount  = 44.16
• Press Enter to continue and leave the rest of the remaining fields unchanged.
• Once you are returned to the command prompt, Enter EXIT to return to the Medinol Main Menu
• Next, Exit from Medinol back to Windows and Re-Enter Medinol
• The new dispensing parameters will now be in effect.

 

All the best
