Drugs Payment Scheme

If you don't have a medical card, the rental of your respiratory equipment can be claimed back from the HSE under the Drugs Payment Scheme. The simplest way to get your Payments refunded online is to log into : www.mydps.ie

This will allow you to submit your receipts as and when you get them.

Air Liquide Healthcare will support you when getting your claims filed.

Upon payment of any invoice with Air Liquide Healthcare we will post or email you an invoice marked Paid which will allow you to submit your claims to the DPS scheme. You must fill in a claim form for each month and submit it to the HSE with a receipt from the Chemist and a receipt for ourselves for that calendar month. This can then be sent to the HSE for you to receive your refund.
