#### 12 Rates of payment for approved hospital authorities for public hospitals
(1) For the purposes of subsection 99(4) of the Act, the amount payable to an approved hospital authority for a public hospital in respect of a special arrangement supply of a botulinum toxin pharmaceutical benefit by the authority is the amount, if any, by which the dispensed price for the supply of the benefit exceeds the amount that the hospital authority was entitled to charge under section 87 of the Act in respect of the supply.
> Note 1: Section 87 of the Act limits the amounts that approved hospital authorities can charge patients for the supply of pharmaceutical benefits.
> Note 2: However, see Part 4 of this instrument in relation to the supply of a pharmaceutical benefit to a CTG registered patient.
(2) This section applies despite the National Health (Commonwealth Price—Pharmaceutical Benefits Supplied By Public Hospitals) Determination 2017 (PB 25 of 2017).
> Note: See subsection 99(4) of the Act (read with section 10 of this instrument) for the entitlement of an approved hospital authority to payment for the supply of pharmaceutical benefits to patients receiving treatment in, at or from a hospital in respect of which the authority is approved.
