Medical - Medical: Health Care / Osteoporosis / bone density
English term or phrase: authority prescription
All,

I am translating a doctor's letter on patient's bone density scan.

The sentence in question reads:
"The patient is eligible for ***authority prescription*** of anti-osteoporotic medications if they have:
- a minimal trauma fracture (independent of bone density result) or
- lateral spine X-rays reveal >20% loss of vertebral body height (may be asymptomatic) or
etc."

Source is from Australia. Target is German for Germany

Thank you!

Explanation:
Authority required benefits[edit]
Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare Australia. These are noted as "authority required benefits" on the Schedule. Again, the PBAC has deemed that the cost-benefit analysis is favourable only under in specific indications/patients under certain circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health. Prescriptions must be written on Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).

In obtaining a phone approval, the doctor simply identifies themselves (using their name and provider number), the patient (using their Medicare number), and when asked by the operator, confirms which of the conditions eligible for an authority the patient is suffering from. Medicare normally assumes the doctor's assertion that the condition exists as sufficient. For a written Authority however, evidence of diagnosis and patient eligibility criteria such a pathology test results are usually required.

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.
