Prescription Pre-payment Certificate

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.
