This Determination fixes a $12.78 fee payable to an “approved pharmacist etc.” for issuing certain health cards — safety net concession cards, pharmaceutical benefits entitlement cards, and their additional or replacement cards. It creates a per-card payment incentive and fiscal obligation for each qualifying issuance, without changing eligibility, issuance powers or administrative rules under the National Health Act.
