The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) is a national pharmaceutical scheme funded by the Federal Government where patients contribute to the cost of prescribed drugs.

We’ll pay benefits as outlined in the extras table below, up to the individual script benefit limit for your cover. The benefit amount per script is calculated by deducting the PBS General Patient Contribution amount from the purchase price. This is conditional on the pharmaceutical prescription being listed in the MIMs Schedule as S4 or S8 and being dispensed in quantities in accordance with this schedule.

We also pay for compound pharmacy scripts, as long as one of the ingredients meets these criteria. The PBS General Patient Contribution amount is updated by the Government and changes every year on 1 January.

Queensland Country doesn’t cover pharmaceutical prescriptions covered by the PBS or for contraceptives and items normally available without prescriptions.

It’s important to note that a doctor’s letter may be required for some pharmacy items.
