The Pharmacy Guild will now negotiate the compensation for lost income as 60-day scripts are rolled out from today.
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia has shelved its campaign against 60-day medicine dispensing, which was due to start on Friday, and agreed to talks to iron out an agreement that will not jeopardise the viability of local chemists.
“Everyone with a Medicare card taking one of these medicines will save up to $180 per year, per medicine. Concession cardholders will save $43 per medicine,” he said. The deals usually last five years and spell out how much pharmacies are paid by the government for dispensing drugs listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
