It was a glorious visit yesterday to the pharmacy at the HIV place. I finally had spent enough money to get onto the PBS (pharmaceutical benefits scheme) safety net here. It means I have spent $1,290 in this calendar year on prescriptions so far. All prescriptions from now on until Dec 31st will be at a hugely reduced rate. Instead of $30 or so per prescription item it will only be about $5. For anything.
That means that for the last month of Dec 2010, instead of paying $66 for my HIV pills for the month, I will only pay about $10! These pills cost the gov nearly $1,000 a month. I am so very very glad I live in a country like Australia.
