//understanding the procedure of processing and recording Doctor's Bag Orders (PBS yellow book)//

Certain pharmaceutical benefits are provided without charge to doctors who in turn can supply them free to patients for emergency use. A doctor must fill out and sign the Emergency Drug (Doctor's Bag) Order Form in triplicate and give the original and duplicate to a pharmacist. Each form is valid for the month indicated on the form. Doctors can order the maximum quantity of an item provided they do not already have the maximum quantity on hand. Doctors can only get items once a month. They can also ask for a particular brand of a pharmaceutical benefit. If it is unavailable, they must specify another listed brand, and initial the alteration. A receipt must be signed by the doctor, or by an authorised representative, when supplies are received.
