Comment on Close to 500k Australians could have missed out on savings at the pharmacy [from the PBS Safety Net]
sqgl@beehaw.org 3 weeks agoThanks. I opted out of MyHealthRecord before it kicked in. This vindicates me: the justification for them is to streamline services but, from what you told me, they are not even doing that (in this instance).

The thing is, that prescription history is still saved as far as I’m aware, you just don’t have access to it without a MyHealthRecord. That’s, no offence, kind of the misconception a lot of folks had about MHR. All that data is collected about you either way and already had been for years.
The other thing about it people got shitty about is that when a child turns 14 their parent loses access to their MHR. However, that’s just in line with the rest of our medicare rules that mean a 14yo can access healthcare privately and independently.

Prescriptions are only a small part of our health record.
