Discounted discounts
April 14, 2014
Wholesalers have recently
reduced PBS discounts to pharmacy
customers Australia-wide with
most, if not all, pharmacies in
Australia having their PBS discounts
reduced by 0.6% due to 01 Apr
government PBS price reductions.
“This now makes the average
wholesaler PBS discount around
3% (cost+4%), a far cry from the 6%
discount (cost+1%) possible just a
few years ago,” said Chemsave ceo
Michael Dixon.
To reduce the impact of these
changes, Chemsave are offering, for
a membership price, to provide ongoing
wholesaler PBS discounts of
4.5% (cost+2.5%) across the whole
PBS range.
This represented 50% more
discount than the average, directly
off invoices through API, and
available on top of benefits that
Chemsave offers, said Dixon.
