As of Thursday, the government of Nova Scotia will pay extra dispensing fees for pharmacare clients for refills on prescriptions that would usually be filled for longer periods.

In a statement on Wednesday, the government said it will cover, for example, the second and third refill dispensing fees for prescriptions typically dispensed for 90 days.

Premier Stephen McNeil said the province understands that some people are feeling the financial strain of additional dispensing fees during the pandemic. “This will help people keep a little more money in their pockets while protecting the drug supply to ensure Nova Scotians can get the medications they need,” McNeil said at the daily COVID-19 press briefing.
