DPS Pharmacy Question

    On Drug Payment Scheme with my family, the full amount it payed each month so any scripts for other family members are filled free. I need a prescription but as I work at the pharmacy that the DPS is in, I do not want my employer to know my prescription. Nothing bad, just would prefer to keep work and personal things separate.

    I know you can go to other pharmacies, get the script filled and paid for, and then the money refunded at a later date but is it possible to do this without the other pharmacy calling my employer and checking has the €100 been paid??

    You only get the benefit of the 100 euro co-payment, if you stick to the same Pharmacy in the same calender month.

    Yeah you just need to present the other people's blue dps scripts and the HSE will photocopy them, that'll be proof. However, be aware that it can take weeks and weeks for the money to come back to you (think my longest was 3 months!)

    Oh okay. Thanks, might just not claim and leave it.
