Answer
If you have Medicare
If you are covered by Medicare you can access PrEP at a subsidised price thanks to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
Cost: $30 for 30 tablets, which equates to a 30-day supply of PrEP when taken daily.
It is important to remember that to access PrEP via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme you must:
- Have a negative HIV test conducted in the last 4 weeks OR
- Have your HIV tests in progress at the time of your script
If you don’t have Medicare
You can still access PrEP. Although pharmacies charge their own prices, typically this is around $40.
How do I receive it?
Your Hey Fella doctor will send your script to your phone as an eScript. You can take this to any pharmacy.
Alternatively, you can choose to have your PrEP delivered. Ask your Hey Fella doctor about this.
