I seriously think the Dr is just trying to get money out of you (well medicare, which is essentially everyone here who pays tax), and I bet she is probably not billing medicare for a brief consult of less than 5 minutes either! It would be interestig for you to ask what item number they used for the consult. But maybe thats a bit cynical of me, Lol.

When I was on motillium my Dr gave me 2 scripts, one for just 1 pack of 25 and one for a lot of 100. She said to check with the chemist as to which way was cheapest and as it turns out to get the script of 100 was cheaper for me. Although I don't have any concession cards so not sure whether that would change things? Anyway my pack of 100 was like someone else mentioned - 4 boxes stuck together and it was $20.95 AND my Dr had no problems at all with giving me 3 repeats for the scripts of 100.

How frustrating for you!
