Why do some prescription medicines have multiple prices?Updated 24 days ago

Prescription medicine prices in Australia can vary depending on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and your eligibility.

Prices may differ based on:

• Whether the medication is covered under the PBS

• Whether you hold a valid concession or pension card

• Whether the medicine is privately priced (not covered by the PBS for your condition or eligibility)

Some medicines are not covered by the PBS for all patients, which means a private (non-PBS) price may apply.

If you are unsure which price is relevant to your prescription, please contact our customer service team and we will be happy to assist you.
