Bendigo e-scripts provide faster, safer and easier way to get your prescription medications
- Monday 21 September 2020
Bendigo Community Health Services has started using a new e-scripts system to provide a safer, faster and easier way for clients to access your prescription medications.
The free e-scripts service allows our GPs and health professionals to send you or a nominated person an electronic copy of your script that you can show to the pharmacy.
This takes out the need to wait for paper versions of your script to arrive or the need to visit a BCHS site to collect one - faster, safer, easier.
Some Bendigo pharmacies are also using apps that allow you to send the prescription straight to them but you need to ask if this service is available.
The e-script works on a barcode or token (QR Code) which when scanned provides all the information your pharmacist will need to fill your script.
To help us ensure the system works please make sure you provide or confirm your mobile phone number or email address to our Client Services staff when you book an appointment.
