How can BIMC charge so much extra?
To buy Lamisil in the Kimia Farma Pharmacies in Bali is Rp 530.000 for 12 tablets - expensive enough! However the exact same thing at BIMC is almost Rp 1.2000.000. And to top it off the package that BIMC gives you actually has the Rp 530.000 price tag still on the box. I asked why that wasn't the price they actually charged and they said that that is what the chemist charges but we charge almost Rp 1.200.000 - over double - no excuses, no explanations. I have heard that they over-charge but thought as it is an Australian backed institution that it would be reasonable.
So, get perhaps your prescriptions there but buy the medication at a place like Kimia Pharmacy.
By the way I checked both my package of tablets at Rp530.000 and the package from BIMC - exactly the same product.
As I need a 3 month course of these tablets it is already costing a fortune without BIMCs higher price - and I do have full insurance but that's not the point!
In Australia they cost approx Rp 250.000 for 12 at an online chemist that I just checked - full price not concession.
