NHS prescriptions goes up to £9 in April. Buy a digital £10.40 pm prepayment cert to save

sarah1972

A prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) lets you get as many NHS prescriptions as you need for a set price.

If you regularly pay prescription charges, a PPC could save you money.

The prescription charge in England is £8.80 per item, increasing to £9 on 1 April 2019

A PPC costs:

£29.10 for 3 months
£104 for 12 months
£10.40 per month by direct debit for 10 months

The quickest way to buy a PPC is to buy it online - emailed out to you as a digital certificate available to use immediately.


If you need:

two items each month – you can save more than £100 with a 12-month PPC
three items each month – you can save £212 with a 12-month PPC
four items each month – you can save £318 with a 12-month PPC

Price is fixed for the year - so you miss out on the usual annual prescription charge increase each April.
