If you have to pay for more than three prescription items in three months, or 14 items in 12 months, you could save money by buying a Pre Payment Certificate (PPC). From 1 April 2009, the charge for a single prescription item is £7.20, whereas a three-month PPC will cost you £28.25 and a 12-month PPC £104.00. The most convenient way to pay for your 12 month PPC is by Direct Debit meaning you can spread the yearly cost over 10 monthly instalments.

Once your Direct Debit has been set up, the PPA will send you an advance notice showing the amount they will debit from your bank account each month. They will then collect that amount without you having to do a thing.  The Authority's PPC Issue Office is responsible for issuing PPCs to people resident in England only, on behalf of the Department of Health.  IMPORTANT - some people can get free prescriptions. You should check whether you could get free prescriptions before buying a PPC.  To apply for a PPC, click here or phone 0845 850 0030.
