Primary care rebate schemes
Primary care rebate schemes are contractual arrangements offered by pharmaceutical companies, sometimes via third party companies, which offer retrospective financial rebates to Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board (GMICB) based on primary care prescribing expenditure for particular branded medicine(s). The availability of a scheme does not influence the inclusion of specific medicines in care pathways or the GMMMG formulary.
All rebate applications are assessed against the GMMMG Ethical Framework for Primary Care Rebate schemes, which can be found at the bottom of this page along with the application form.
Please direct any enquiries regarding primary care rebate schemes to gmicb-old.medsman@nhs.net.
