• Patient savings represent an expected maximum saving per script. • Different pharmacies may charge different amounts for medicines that cost less than the co-payment.
o This means that some patients will NOT save the full amount.
• Concessional patients will continue to pay $5.80 (plus any premiums if applicable). • Note that BOLD brands are those with brand premiums (extra patient surcharge) – therefore the old and
new prices are higher than the other brands, as is the potential maximum savings.
