 It runs Jan - Dec. Been on it for three years now and in January I have
 to start paying regular price for scripts.

 I can't get a straight answer on that one.

 I've been told    1. Forty Something prescriptions
                   2. After $400 value in scripts.

Once on it, if you are prepared to take the generic tablet then most
times it is free. Non generic drugs will cost 60 cents per packet.

The chemist will usually tell you when the limit has been passed (it's
on his computer) and after me signing the forms he hands me, I receive a
refund cheque for the amount over the limit in the mail about a month
later.

Cheers
Niels
