π‘ COULD YOU BE PAYING LESS FOR YOUR HEALTHCARE?
If you or your family have regular medical appointments or prescription medicines, you may benefit from the Medicare Safety Net or PBS Safety Net.
π©Ί The Medicare Safety Net can help reduce out-of-pocket costs for eligible out-of-hospital services once you reach the annual threshold.
π The PBS Safety Net can help reduce the cost of eligible medicines once you reach the annual threshold.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Families and couples: You may be able to combine your eligible costs by registering as a Medicare Safety Net family β potentially helping you reach the threshold sooner.
π
Both schemes reset each year on 1 January.
Itβs worth knowing what you may be entitled to β it could save you money!
