Prescription Charges
The current cost in England per prescription item is £9.65 and you will be required to pay for each item on your prescription, unless you are exempt. Prescription exemption charges are dependent on your age and circumstances. To find out if you are eligible for free prescriptions, please visit https://services.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/check-my-nhs-exemption/start
If you require 12 or more prescription medications within a year, you could save money with a pre-payment certificate.
Alternatively, you can buy a three-month pre-payment certificate to save money, if you need 3 or more prescription medications within three months.
