The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) makes a range of prescription medicines more affordable to Australian residents due to the Government subsidising the cost. These medicines also require a PBS co-payment to be paid towards each item by the patient.

If you are on eligible extras cover, all you have to do is pay up to $20 per non-government subsidised prescription, we will cover any gap over $20, up to your cover’s limit.

Private medicines are medicines that the Government does not include on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). These medicines are not subsidised and can be quite expensive. Health Partners has no exclusions on these medicines meaning we can help you with lifestyle and tailored compounded medicines, approved medicinal cannabis, IVF drugs and non-government subsidised vaccinations.

If you are on eligible extras cover, all you have to do is pay up to $41 per private prescription, we will cover any gap up to your cover’s limit^.
