Co-payment system for medicines

With the medicine calculator, you can calculate the estimated drug cost based on the entered criteria. The cost of medication is based on the level of individuals in each 12-month period and it is important to know how much individuals have paid for medication in the period before medication purchases.

Precautions for the result of the calculator

The results show the estimated cost of medication based on the assumptions that are presented. The calculation is intended to guide how the cost of medication can be in a new system and the results are therefore not binding.

Medicinal products that do not have a payment participation in health insurance are not included in the payment levels. Iceland Health co-payment is based on the reference price; if a person chooses a more expensive medicine, he/she pays the difference, which is then not included in the payment levels, unless a medicinal product certificate is available that confirms otherwise. The calculator does not allow for costs that exceed this reference price.

The results in the calculation section “Results” may vary by several ISK to or from.
