It is possible to get pain medication under the reimbursement program by e-prescription. This is written by eHealth TG Channel.
A prescription for opioid pain relievers under the Reimbursement Program for palliative patients is written by a family physician (except for patients with mental and behavioral health disorders).
The scheme for getting an e-prescription drug is the same as before.
- The patient receives an e-prescription in the form of a 16-digit number and a confirmation code and goes to a pharmacy that has a contract with NHSI for the appropriate area of the reimbursement program.
- The pharmacy employee suggests available trade names that are part of the program.
- The patient chooses and gets the drug for free or at a copayment.
