Away For The Day

Government will pay Pharmacare clients’ extra dispensing fees for refills on prescriptions that would usually be filled for longer periods. For example, governm...ent will cover the second and third refill dispensing fees for prescriptions typically dispensed for 90 days. In March, the Nova Scotia College of Pharmacists recommended that pharmacists dispense prescriptions every 30 days that might otherwise be filled for a longer period of time. This step was taken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to help protect the drug supply and is similar to measures in place in other parts of the country. Government will also waive the $5 prescription co-pay for clients of the Income Assistance program and the Low Income Pharmacare for Children program. These temporary measures take effect tomorrow, April 23. The province recognizes pharmacists have been working hard to serve their customers, and thanks them for their efforts. Pharmacists are important front-line health care professionals who are vitally important during this pandemic.
