Extension Fee for Service Prescriptions

This section contains information for British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan pharmacies.

In certain provinces, a patient-focused service (PFS) prescription can be billed to government plans when a prescription is extended. In these provinces, Nexxsys automatically bills the PFS prescription.

Note: If cancelling an extended prescription, is it the pharmacy's responsibility to also cancel the PFS prescription.

Select your province from the dropdowns below to learn more information.
