baz6679 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 my wife suffers from lack of vitamin b12 and gets an injection every 3 months. Is it possible to get these in OZ on Medicare or does anyone have any experience or advice in relation to this?

Guest Guest31881 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 B12 injections are available here and you pay for the prescription. The max cost should be around $32 but just checked and "Chemist warehouse" sell B12 injections for $12.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Just to add to Colins post,, if your Dr DOESN'T bulk bill you can expect to pay up to $60 (with Medicare refunding $30+) every time you go for the injection. Try to find a local bulk billing practice to get them done at. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most doctors will then give a repeat prescription at no fee every three months. At least this is how my surgery does it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
