want help with prescription fees?

 in Health, Saving Money

Do you want help with prescription fees?

If you know you’ll have to pay for a lot of NHS prescriptions, it may be cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) – effectively a prescription “season ticket”.

A PPC covers all your NHS prescriptions, including NHS dental prescriptions, no matter how many items you need. But it does not cover the cost of other health items, such as the provision of wigs and fabric supports, which are only provided through the hospital service.

There are 2 PPC options to choose from:

  1. The 3-month PPC costs £30.25 and will save you money if you need more than 3 prescribed items in 3 months.
  2. The 12-month PPC costs £108.10 and will save you money if you need more than 11 prescribed items in a year.

What are Pre-Paid Prescriptions (PPC)?

This is where you save money by prepaying for your NHS prescriptions at set price: £30.25 for 3 months or £108.10 for 12 months. Below is a table that shows you how much you can save:

If you need:

  • 2 items each month – you can save £116.30 with a 12-month PPC
  • 3 items each month – you can save £228.50 with a 12-month PPC
  • 4 items each month – you can save £340.70 with a 12-month PPC

You can buy your PPC online, at a chemist (that is registered to sell them) or over the phone. I buy mine online and pay for it via direct debit over 10 months. It auto renews so I do not have to worry about it.
