From the “queues” of shame in EOPYY pharmacies, to the possibility of free delivery of high cost drugs (PEKs) at home or receipt by neighborhood pharmacies. The Greek state has practiced a timeless demand of patients and their attendants in order to end their suffering.
Free home delivery
The High Cost Drug Delivery Service Started on June 16. Within the first week of operation of 2,500 insureds with serious and chronic diseases they asked for and took their medicines at home, in the office or even in the place where they are vacationing.
139,000 beneficiaries
Based on design from the program They can potentially benefit about 139,000 citizens. Of these, 120,000 take their medicines from EOPYY pharmacies each month.
In fact, the service covers not only normal temperature medicines, but also refrigerator drugs, which are trafficked in appropriate cooling conditions with special vehicles in special packages.
For the time being the only drugs not covered The home delivery service is those imported through IFET mainly for patients with rare diseases.
Activation of service
The process for citizens is simple. Those who have an electronic recipe and intangible opinion and want to take high -cost medicines at home need only to activate the service through the EOPYY platform www.eopyy.gov.gr. Those who do not have access to the platform can submit their application by phone at 210 8110500 or 18181.
From the time the application is made, the prescription can no longer be executed at an EOPYY pharmacy.
Free Delivery to your door
EOPYY is committed to insured persons to take their medicines without any financial burden within 24 to 48 hours in the address they have indicated.
Despite the announcements, however, There are patients who denounce delays in receiving critical to treating preparations.
Attempt to cheat patients
At the same time, There are also lacking attempts to cheat insureds. Attempts that raise questions about any leakage of sensitive data. During the first days of the new service, EOPYY itself issued a statement calling on the beneficiaries to be careful, as he points out “third parties call on patients who have applied for receipt of homes at home to hand over the drugs”.
EOPYY is investigating these complaints (3-4 in number) by considering the possibility of people who previously received the preparations from the body’s pharmacies and delivered them for remuneration.
The Panhellenic Association of Kidney Diseases Asks “whether the possibility of any dedicated categories of insured-patient data has been investigated” is concerned about the system’s dictation. “
Receipt of Pharm from neighborhood pharmacies
Larger load will be able to lift private pharmacies. As Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said, insured persons will be able to receive high -cost medicines and from the neighborhood pharmacies in July.
In total, private pharmacies will be performed up to 67,000 prescriptions per month, a number corresponding to 1/3 of the recipes served monthly by EOPYY pharmacies (180,000).
So far only through private pharmacies have been given to a very small number of specific oncology drugs as well as some formulations for multiple sclerosis. Now, the fan will gradually open. The therapeutic categories available from pharmacies will be determined by a ministerial decision.
The patient will pick up his drugs without paying anything in the pharmacy, while the pharmacists themselves will be compensated for 20 euros by the state.
Pharmacists’ cycles, however, point out that in order to grant private and securely granted by private pharmacies, they must be distributed from the drug stores.
