Have you ever been in a situation where you had to get medicine from the pharmacy at night? Then you will have noticed that something has been added to the price. With this night tax we help finance the pharmacy assistance service. Why is that, is that necessary and, above all, whether medicines will also be available in our drugstores? We asked around.
Medicines cost only 3.80 euros more in the pharmacy between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.; During the same period on Sundays and public holidays 1.30 euros. The price applies per use – regardless of the medication class and quantity. Health insurers will only reimburse fees for those who receive certain medical notes such as “exp.noct.” – and therefore the reference to the urgent provision of medicines outside regular opening hours – must be included in the health insurance prescription. She usually has to pay for the rest herself. And it will probably remain that way for a while.
