Hi Marisa - Thank you for your answer and for explaining thinsg to us AND for the Link as well - thnak you so much. Yes. initially it will be for teh Bridging Visa then when we get our aged-parent visa ( soemtime this century then of course we'll be treated to prescript discounts, bus passes LOL ? My husband is the one who has prescripts so it's good to know what he's facing finacially regarding that! Thank you again for answering so promptly and fully. Very much appreciated. We're Boomerang Poms but were much younger when we first emigrated Keep well. Regards Marlene

We're familiar with the operation of Medicare and that it covers a percentage of costs etc. Just want to ask if there are any aged-parent Visa holders here who have been using the UK reciprocal medicare and does this give you exactly the same cover as Australian Nationals or is it a sub set? Also, if you have additional health cover what sort of cover is the best to go for with reciprocal Medicare? It's a bit of a concern leaving the all-inclusive NHS without understanding fully what we can or cannot get in Australia. Many Thanks for your time and consideration. Keep well! qqMolly
