Drugs and medicines on the list of reimbursable items under the General Medical Services (GMS) scheme are available to all valid medical card holders regardless of location. This list is available to view on the Health Service Executive (HSE) website. Those contracted to provide services to medical card holders i.e. doctors, pharmacists, dentists and optometrists are bound by the terms and conditions of their contracts and provide the same services to clients nationally.
