The public social work for retirees made certain changes with their medications. Find out how the discounts on medicines turned out.
He Comprehensive Medical Care Program (PAMI) implemented modifications in its coverage policy for free medications for affiliated retirees and pensioners. Under the new provisions, some remedies that were previously fully covered are now offered with discounts varying between 40% and 80%depending on the treatment and pathology.
Despite these changes, PAMI guaranteed that no member will be left unprotected in terms of access to their medications. For cases in which a member needs a medication outside of the 100% coverage list and cannot afford it even with the available discounts, a social subsidy or a special exception can be managed to access the necessary treatment.
