Some more information from Gesy.

Some specialized drugs, such as cancer, rheumatology and neurology, will still be available from the hospital's state-owned pharmacies, the Oncology Center of the Bank of Cyprus, the German Oncology Center and the Institute of Neurology and Genetics, as is done today.

GHSY fully reimburses the cheapest available medicine and in this case you pay € 1 per medication. If two (2) boxes of the same drug are prescribed due to an increased dosage, you will still be charged € 1 total. This amount is called Completion.

Supplementary amounts such as € 1 per medication, € 1 per laboratory test, € 6 for a referral to the Special Doctor, € 10 per radiodiagnostic examination (eg CT scan, MRI), are added together. When these amounts reach the annual ceiling of € 75 (for children and young people up to 21 years, EWC recipients or low pensioners) or € 150 (for other beneficiaries), you will not be paying for the remainder of the year.

Recipes for chronically ill medicines last up to six (6) months. These are called repeating recipes. The pharmacist will give you a quantity of medicine for one month and you should visit the same pharmacy every month to get your medicines. During 6 months you can take your medication without having to visit your doctor to get a new prescription.
