We will keep a track of the number of PBS prescriptions being dispensed and once the safety net threshold is reached we will submit the required paperwork to Medicare on your behalf and issue you with the safety net card which is valid until the end of the calendar year. If you have had medications dispensed at your local pharmacy prior to being admitted to the aged care facility we suggest you ask the pharmacy to email us your safety net report (i.e. PRF Report) so that we can include these and have them contribute towards your threshold.
Only PBS medications contribute towards your safety net threshold. This also means that when you reach the safety net only PBS items will be free of charge (brand price premium may apply) and all other items such as vitamins and over the counter medications will continue to be charged at the normal discounted rates.
