Alberta Prescription Fees Rise

Alberta’s government just signed a new three-year deal with pharmacists, raising dispensing fees for the first time in a decade—up to $12.35 for short-term prescriptions and $13.50 for longer ones. Pharmacists also get a 3% pay boost for two years, with a review before year three. Plus, a new $13,000 monthly cap lets them bill for extra services like vaccines and chronic care support. Small cost hikes, big investment in frontline health care. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
