The Department of Health have advised that the weekly base cap has doubled from 30 to 60 DAA services per week. These changes are effective from 4 January 2021.
This means pharmacies with weekly DAA caps of 30 – 59, will have their weekly cap increased to 60 DAA services per week.
There will be no change for pharmacies with weekly DAA caps of 60 or more.
Please note: the weekly DAA cap is based on the date the DAA service was provided (the start date on the pack) and not the date the claim was submitted to the PPA Portal. Any claims submitted in January with a service date in December will therefore be assessed against the weekly cap that was in effect at the time of the service (i.e. before the base cap increase).
