Sumex1.net: overview of drugValidator

Overview

The drugValidator is an ATL COM module which provides methods to validate the price of SL pharmaceuticals ("Spezialitätenliste") against maximal allowed prices as published by BSV/OFAS.

As the name "drugValidator" might imply, the validator has query and validation services for all pharmaceuticals applicable in Switzerland. Due to copyright reasons drugValidator is a validator capable of validating the pharmaceuticals of the SL list ("Spezialitätenliste") only. There is no query interface available, and the sole purpose of this validator is to check the prices of the SL drugs inside the invoice request modules.

As of 1st of January 2015 the BAG does no longer support the pharmaCode. Consequently, the drugValidator can no longer support pharmaCodes as well, since the drugValidator database is based upon the BAG list of SL pharmaceuticals. All inputted pharmaCodes are thus no longer recognized even for validation dates less than the 1st of January 2015.

Please also have a look at the Important Documents that serves as a jump start and might effect the ease of the implementation.
