Information on NHS Charges
Current policy
Entitlement to help with health costs (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs) is based on the principle that those who can afford to contribute should do so, while those who are likely to have difficulty in paying should be protected.
A list of current charges are contained in HC12W ' Charges and Optical Voucher Values'.
Who can get help
People can get help on age or medical grounds or by being in receipt of one of the exempting benefits or tax credits.
For more information, see HC11 'Are you entitled to help with health costs ?'. and HC81C ' Claiming Free Prescriptions Important News'.
Pharmacies and GP surgeries may have these leaflets.
Low income?
People who have to pay NHS charges may be able to get help under the NHS Low Income Scheme. The amount of help is based on a comparison between a person's income and requirements at the time that a claim is made or a charge was paid.
How do I make a low income claim?
