[Revised Aug 07]
Overview.
The user has complete control over pricing with all pricing parameters being accessible to the user off the major options screen.
NHS scripts are priced according to the NHS markup and dispensing fees shown on this screen, and if the total is less than the s'net cutoff the script is repriced using the formula recommended by Medicare Australia. See S'Net Pricing
Private scripts are priced according to the 'Private and OTC' markup and dispensing fee set by the user.
See 'pricing panel' topic for details of prices displayed during dispensing.
Manual price override
All these prices are calculated for every script, and the computer's choice of price to the patient can be overridden by selecting the required option in the 'Status' panel during dispensing.
The NHS markup and dispensing fees should not be changed as they are set by the state. Access is provided in case of sudden change in state policy.
Script pricing policy
'RxOne' can follow all the common pricing policies for NHS, Private or 'Under s'net' scripts. The user should set the pricing parameters to suit their need.
Please! Advise all staff (including relievers) that the machine is following management pricing policy. It is surprisingly common for the help desk to get reports of incorrect pricing when several staff members are changing parameters back and forth unknown to each other. It is rarely true that "No one else knows how to do this...".
