Errata to the PBS Schedule for 1 May 2014

8 May 2014

The clinical criterion in the May 2014 PBS Schedule contains a misprint in items 10083Q and 10084R. The criterion erroneously states

“Patient must be undergoing chemotherapy plus G-CSF mobilisation and their peripheral blood CD34+ count is less than 10,000 per microlitre on the day of planned collection”

The criterion should read:

“Patient must be undergoing chemotherapy plus G-CSF mobilisation and their peripheral blood CD34+ count is less than 10,000 per millilitre or less than 10 million per litre on the day of planned collection”

The correct wording will appear in the June PBS Schedule.
