8. A medicinal preparation that is a variation of a standard formula preparation, due to the addition or deletion of an ingredient or to variation of the dose, or that is a combination of standard formula preparations, shall be deemed not to be a standard formula preparation.
9. An election made pursuant to paragraph 38 of the determination made under subsection 98B(1) of the Act shall be made in writing to the Chief Executive Officer of Medicare Australia and shall remain in force for a period of not less than 3 months from and including the date of election, but may be revoked in writing at any time after the expiration of that period; and while the election remains in force, the amount payable to the approved pharmacist or approved medical practitioner, in respect of the supply of an extemporaneously-prepared pharmaceutical benefit that is not a standard formula preparation, shall be the amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 21 of the determination made under subsection 98B(1) of the Act.
