I was just reading about the Drugs payment scheme and the price of meds being reimbursed by the HSE being the HSE Drugs Payment Scheme (DPS) price.
I know that this is what the HSE are paying pharmacists for medical card holders meds, but does anyone know if there are any pharmacies actually charging private patients these prices?
It seems quite unfair to me that they are only reimbursing this reference price if this price is not actually available out there.
It doesn't matter what price they charge private patients. The way it works is that the maximum a family pay per month is €144. After that, everything is reimbursed.
I pay €144 a month. Its is irrelevant to me how much the pharmacy gets reimbursed beyond that.
