Immunomodulating Agent - (Item 14245)

Item 14245 applies only to a service provided by a medical practitioner who is registered by the Department of Human Services CEO to participate in the arrangements made, under paragraph 100 (1) (b) of the National Health Act 1953, for the purpose of providing an adequate pharmaceutical service for persons requiring treatment with an immunomodulating agent.  

These drugs are associated with risk of anaphylaxis which must be treated by a medical practitioner.  For this reason a medical practitioner needs to be available at all times during the infusion in case of an emergency.
