PBS reason codes for Online PBS Authorities

Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) processing reason codes for Online PBS Authorities.

When your PBS Authority is processed you may get a reason code in the system you use. These codes may occur if you apply for a PBS authority using the Online PBS Authorities system or your own practice software. There are 4 reason code types:

  • Reject
  • Warning
  • Information
  • Error message.

Contact our PBS general enquiries line for more information.

When prescribing for a Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) patient, you’ll need to seek authority from DVA. The process is similar to non-DVA patients. Read more about prior approval of prescriptions for Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (RPBS) patients on the DVA website.

Use this filter to search for reason codes by number.
