Co-payment system for medicines

In the first step, the individual pays for medicine in full, in the second step he pays 15% of the price of medicines and in the third step he pays 7.5%. When the cost of medicine has reached a certain maximum, he will receive medicine in full paid by Iceland Health for the remainder of the period.
