Our national contracting work in this category is now complete. PHARMAC is now exploring the next steps in this category.

Clinical advice

Seeking expert clinical advice is an important part of our work in medical devices. The Interventional Cardiology Advisory Group (ICAG) is made up of 10 clinicians who were appointed on the advice of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand, and other key stakeholders. The Group is providing PHARMAC objective clinical advice to assist in determining strategies going forward in regard to managing future assessment, standardisation, prioritisation and procurement of interventional cardiology devices.
