Did you know that if you and you family get more than 20 subsidised prescription items* in a year, you may qualify for FREE prescriptions?
Yes you can.
Once you (individually) or your family (collectively) have paid for 20 new subsidised prescription items from 1st February each year, you won't have to pay the standard $5 prescription charge for the rest of that year (up to 31st January).
Talk to your pharmacist at Life Pharmacy Blenheim to determine your eligibility. Be sure to give the names and ages of all people in your family so that your pharmacist can check to see how many precriptions have been paid for since 1st February.
If eligible, you will receive a Prescription Subsidy Card which you can show at any pharmacy to get the exemption.
* Items are the number of medicines prescribed per prescription.
