Pharmaceuticals benefits scheme
Your medication is not included in the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). This means that costs are fully covered by the patient or another party, and are not subsidised by the government.
Private Health insurance claims
Many private health insurance providers cover some or all of the costs of your medication, however this varies between insurers and plans.
You’ll need to contact your private health insurance provider to find out if you can claim any benefits through them for your specific medication and insurance plan.
