Healthy living benefits | Up to $150 |
Pharmaceutical
$500The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) is a national pharmaceutical scheme funded by the Federal Government where patients contribute to the cost of prescribed drugs.
Territory Health doesn't cover pharmaceutical prescriptions covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme or for contraceptives and items normally available without prescriptions. Prescriptions not covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), excluding contraceptives and items normally available without prescription and drugs not approved for sale in Australia. A co-payment applies to each prescription item equal to the current PBS.
We’ll pay benefits as outlined in the Extras table up to the claim limit for this category, with consideration to the maximum individual script benefit limit. The benefit amount per script is calculated by deducting the PBS general patient contribution amount from the purchase price (up to script benefit limit). This is conditional on the pharmaceutical prescription being listed in the MIMs Schedule as S4 or S8 and being dispensed in quantities in accordance with this schedule. We also pay for compound pharmacy scripts, as long as one of the ingredients meet this criteria.
A doctor's letter may be required for some pharmacy items.
The PBS contribution amount is reviewed annually by the Government and changes every year on 1 January.
