Increased copayments for drugs
As of April 1, 2018, a number of changes came into effect, which allow us to lower the price for legal additional payments for medicines. Unfortunately!
These are prescription medications from the category painkillers with fentanyl, morphine and oxycodone. Further, this change affects anti-inflammatories, but also blood thinners.
In the future, these supplements will require up to € 10.00 in additional payments from patients.
If someone finds himself among the groups of people using such medications, it would now make sense to talk to the attending physician if there is an alternative medicine for which lower co-payments are to be made.
Best of all, of course, is exemption from co-payments, and I'm really glad, after reading this news today, that I have recently received my exemption from 2018 co-payments.
Try makes smart and ask costs nothing!
