Health Products Portal (HPP) ProgramTo realise a single, secure, and easy to use place where industry can interact with government to apply, track, pay,

and manage listings for regulated and subsidised health related products and services

Program Overview

The HPP Prog ram will create consistent and simplified business processes through a digital solution that supports legislative compliance and evidence-based policy and decision making. It includes the design, build, change and deploy of a new enterprise capability for the Department, supporting $37 billion of healthcare expenditure.

The Program will deliver improvements in 6 core functions associated with Health Technology Assessments (HTA) in the management of regulated and subsidised health related products/services:

The initial focus of the Program is to support the consistent and simplified execution of the Register, Apply, Evaluate, Negotiate, List and Publish business functions through a managed workflow solution.

Program Focus

1. Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) via the associated independent advisory Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC)

2. Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) via the independent advisory Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC)

3. Prostheses List (PL) via the independent advisory Prostheses List Advisory Committee (PLAC)

Program Outcome

1. Industry registers with the Department once to apply for subsidisation or regulation of PBS, MBS and PL items

2. The Department aligns committee and subsidisation / regulation processes to a single value stream

3. The Department provides a single business system to support subsidisation/regulation of PBS, MBS and PL items
