Compounded prescription PINs

Before submitting requests for PharmaCare coverage of ANY compound, pharmacists must ensure that the request complies with the Compounded Prescriptions Policy as laid out in the Compounded Prescriptions — Section 5.13, PharmaCare Policy Manual. Any amounts paid out by PharmaCare for compounds that do not comply with this policy are subject to recovery.

For exceptional coverage of a compound not listed here, please refer to Compounded Prescriptions — Section 5.13, PharmaCare Policy Manual.

All compounds—whether a PharmaCare benefit or not—must be submitted in PharmaNet using the appropriate PIN.

If you are unsure which PIN to use for the prescribed compound or if the patient meets criteria, please contact the PharmaNet HelpDesk before submitting the claim on PharmaNet.

Correct quantities

Claims for all items should be entered as “each” and reflect the number of pieces within the kit. For example, for infusion sets/kits:

  • If you dispense 1 kit that contains 1 cannula and 1 tubing, total quantity = 2
  • If you dispense 1 kit that contains 10 cannula and 10 tubing, total quantity = 20 (10 + 10)
  • If you dispense 2 kits and each kit contains 10 cannula and 10 tubing, total quantity = 40 ((10 + 10) x 2)
  • If you dispense 1 box of pods that contains 10 pods, total quantity = 10

Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) PINs

On March 20, 2020, MAiD prescriptions will no longer require Special Authority approval under Plan P (Palliative Care Drug Plan). Coverage will be provided automatically under the Assurance Plan (Plan Z).

For Plan Z coverage, all MAiD prescriptions need to be claimed through PharmaNet using the MAiD-specific Product Identification Numbers (PINs). Drug Identification Numbers (DINs) may no longer be used.

Each PIN identifies a drug, strength/concentration, and form. It will not identify a specific brand. Any brand of a drug can be dispensed under the PIN and will be paid up to the maximum price that is allowable for that PIN.

If you are unable to acquire a product that meets the specifications of the drug identified in the tables below, or if the price of the product you have exceeds the allowable maximum price, please contact the PharmaNet HelpDesk for assistance.

If a patient is ineligible for MAiD due to a lack of MSP coverage, or because they recently moved to B.C. from another part of Canada, please call HIBC.

As of March 20, 2020, please use the PINs below when entering all MAiD prescriptions.

Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) PINs and DINs

These tables provide product identification numbers (PINs) and drug identification numbers (DINs) for PharmaCare claims for opioid agonist treatment (OAT).

PINs are for OAT claims only. If a prescription is for pain, enter the transaction in PharmaNet with the corresponding DIN. Do not use OAT PINs for pain indications.

As of June 6, 2023, regular benefit OAT is covered under plans B, C, G and Z. Non-benefit OAT is covered under Plan B, C, G, W and Z.

Interaction fees

PharmaCare pays an interaction fee to pharmacies that are a) enrolled in the OAT provider sub-class; and b) dispensing methadone with direct interaction. The only eligible claims are for witnessed ingestion of methadone.

Exceptional Plan Z coverage

Exceptional Plan Z coverage of OAT is available to people living in B.C. who are not yet fully enrolled in MSP. See Exceptional Plan Z coverage for OAT on the Plan Z web page.

Potential coverage issues for non-benefit OAT Special Authority

After June 6, 2023, patients should receive 100% coverage for non-benefit OAT if they have active exceptional SA in place. Pharmacists should be aware that patients with exceptional SA for non-benefit OAT (i.e., Methadose® sugar-free/dye-free, compounded methadone, Suboxone® 12 mg and 16 mg SL tabs, Suboxone® film) may experience a change from 100% coverage to partial or no coverage at the pharmacy, despite having an active SA approval. This could happen, for instance, following an income review or January 1 deductible update for patients covered by Fair PharmaCare. This is due to the technicalities of entering SAs to cover non-benefit OAT under Plan Z.

Pharmacists and prescribers should call the HIBC Help Desk if they believe that someone with an SA for non-benefit OAT is not receiving the appropriate coverage. Help Desk staff will determine whether the SA is active and, if so, will contact the SA team to determine coverage issues and re-instatement. If the SA has indeed expired, the prescriber will need to submit a new SA request.
