Dispensing fee rise sought by Pharmacy Guild
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia recommends a 15¢ increase in the dispensing fee for ready prepared prescriptions not covered by the National Health Act, raising the fee to 1. A guild statement notes the rise is to cover cost increases over two years and that the Commonwealth currently pays 39¢ for such prescriptions. The spokesman adds chemists provide more than relabeling, and customers pay for four years of knowledge.
