The Drug Payment Scheme (DPS) ensures that no individual or family pays more than €80 a month towards the cost of approved prescribed medicines. The DPS significantly reduces the cost burden for families and individuals with ongoing expenditure on medicines who are not eligible for a medical card.
The DPS also provides reimbursement support for the costs associated with the rental of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine for individuals suffering from sleep apnoea.
