Madrid will join from 1 September to communities such as Andalusia, that from the first moment launched a system to stop charging once the limit is reached. Other regions continue to be charged to pensioners they are over the limit and the excess return them in three or six months, as permitted by the Ministry of Health. Andalusia may stop charging automatically thanks to the introduction of electronic prescriptions, which allows the pharmacist know what medicines are prescribed and which have been dispensed since. Madrid, however, lacks electronic prescriptions, so that the system will be provisional use in September, as the counselor explained.
The Deputy Minister Patricia Flores, who has accompanied the presentation Lasquetty, explained that citizens must undergo health centers to pick up the card, which must be worn to the pharmacy every time you go to look for their drugs. Health card called "paper dispensing." The system will be automated in a few months, probably in November, as it will be automated, according to advance the counselor. "July and August will be returned automatically in September, once verified recipes and contributions to the Health Department," he added.
The Royal Decree Law 16/2012, of April 20, states that pensioners contribute 10% of the cost of the drug, with a maximum of 8 per month, they have an annual income below 18,000, and a maximum of 18 euros if they exceed 18,000 euros in annual revenue. Those with incomes at or above 100,000 euros, provide 60% of the prescription, with a maximum of 60 euros per month.
Lasquetty has ensured that the system has a "minimal cost" to the Community of Madrid, for its provisional and it will be printed in the reprographics service of the Ministry of Health. The Minister has also indicated that his department is receiving "several calls" from other autonomous communities interested in this system, so it has not ruled that implant in other Spanish regions. The Deputy Minister Patricia Flores has stated that pensioners should renew the card each month until the start of the final system.
Lasquetty thanked the College of Pharmacists of Madrid your help to implement the system and also the new co-payment, which began on July 1. He explained that at the end of last month sent a letter to each of the more than 2,800 pharmacies in the region to thank the owners "excellent work" and "patience" during the first month copay.
The minister defended the system that classifies people according to their income to assign a code contribution to the payment of the drugs. Facing criticism for the delay-based data on the income statement of 2010, so that the economic situation may have changed, has said that it is the same process to apply for a grant and that is the best possible system.
"The regional government has had to resort to a special card, ignoring the instructions of the central government," the spokesman of Health considers the Social Democratic Party, José Manuel Freire, who denounces the financial and organizational cost this card you describes as "fudge" because pharmacists will point to the hand in a cardboard quantities: "The umpteenth improvisation to implement a copayment for pensioners only unfair, will have a higher cost than what is raise with him. " Freire has estimated that following the instructions of the Ministry of Health, Madrid should do 1.2 million reimbursement of expenses a year to pensioners who exceed their cap filler in recipes. The socialists have announced that they will ask a detailed administrative and management costs of the new pharmaceutical copayment.
