相信大家都知道,虽然用MEDICARE看GP不要钱, 但如果象老人需要经常吃药的,平常买药的费用也是很高的. 最近听说如果每年买药的钱超过了一定金额(好象是$350, 不确定), 药费就不用再付了, 象是个封顶什么的. 这主要是为了老人考虑, 经常要买常用药的, (象高血压,糖尿病之类的). 有朋友知道这个说法的吗? 我以前从没听说过...

HUH? 我知道的是,如果你每年买药的钱(out-of-pocket expense) 超过了2000,那么可以CLAIM回来20%

那么老人呢,也许这是给老人的福利吧. 父母要过来,是帮他们问的...象咱们好象也花不了那么多钱啊.
评论
SORRY,你意思是说你帮老人去买吧? 那费用是算你头上。和老人没有关系吧??
你家老人过来想必是探亲,不是这里常住居民,有这种福利的吗? 没听过
评论
噢,谢谢MARIBEL的回复, 其实是要把父母办移民过来,只是老要买药, 所以想问问...不过确实听一个朋友说过,指的是父母是这里的公民, 不过不知道是不是有年龄的限制, 要多少岁以上...

这个我也关心的。
以下是我印象中的药费封顶,不准确的地方请大家纠正:
听说这里的居民每人每个月每种prescription药都有$30+的封顶(Medicare),这个只是听说,有没有我不确定;
如果买私人医保extra cover,其中prescription一项有每人每个月每种prescription药$25的封顶,这个我知道肯定有的,但是是不是$25我就记不太清了;
另外这里的pensioner有PBS,药费便宜得几乎像白送的,但是父母付费移民要等待十年才能享受。
这些都是我大致的印象,不对的地方请大家纠正。谢谢!

What benefits does the Pensioner Concession Card provide?
The card entitles you to reduced cost medicines under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).
As well as this, you may also be entitled to extra concessions from state and local government authorities. Concessions from state and local government authorities may include:
reductions in property and water rates
reductions in energy bills
a telephone allowance
reduced fares on public transport
reductions on motor vehicle registration
one or more free rail journeys within the state each year.
Pensioner Concession Card concessions vary from state to state and some of these extra concessions are also available to your dependents. Please check with the organisation providing the concession. For more information, go to the www.australia.gov.au website.
Please note: When using services covered by Medicare, you will also need to present your Medicare Card.
