Quarter 4 – January 2024
The latest category M shows yet another slashing of prices and will inflict further
pain on dispensing practices. There are still 661 product lines in Category M, with
6 having been removed and 6 added.
There are 424 products whose price has DECREASED and 207 products whose
prices have Increased. No wonder there are so many Concession price changes
each month.
Category M products to look out for – ensure that you check your generic
acquisition costs. We expect pressure from ICBs to change patients to these
cheaper generics. Members can click here to view our tables.
