New HRT Prepayment Certificate

Not sure how widely known this is, I just spotted it in the news. Annual prepayment for HRT, starts April. £18.70 for a year!

Whoa, thanks for the info!

So is HRT not covered through the standard prepayment certificate - which is about £10 per month - I think for all prescriptions.

Or do we need this one being issued on 1/4/23:?

I am just about to start HRT and thought it would've covered in my current prepayment cert.

Just read through and the existing PPC still covers HRT.

@Itreallyistimetochangethings You'll be fine with the existing PPC. I have that too and have always used it for my HRT and other bits

That’s good news
This info needs to be widely available, so women due to get a prescription beyond the next 4 weeks know to get it and don’t pay as usual.

Anyone due to get a prescription in March might also find they have enough supply to keep them going until April and can delay getting their prescription filled until April.
