prescription drugs and medicare

[brucesbabe]

Hi,

I've just had the shock of finding out that the nasal spray I have (1 every 3 weeks) is $42.99 (that was on priceline website). Does this mean I pay that all myself or will I be able to claim some back ? If yes, any idea how much I can claim back ? I have looked at the safety net thing but it all seems a bit confusing.

I'm pretty sure you will have to pay that yourself, the safety net kicks in when you have spent so much on your family healthcare in 1 year.

try chemist king or chemist warehouse cos they are usually cheaper and ask for the generic brand

If its on perscription it will cost you $35.40 thats what a perscrition cost I pay out about $90 a month on perscritions myself and never reach anywhere near the saftey net even with other medications.
