Using Pre-Payment Certificates for NRT Prescriptions

Not being poor enough, old enough or ill enough to be exempt from prescription charges, and knowing that, as I left the Smoke Stop office with two items on the piece of paper each prescription for the duration would cost me £14.80, I decided to buy a 3 month pre-paid prescription thing. At a cost of £29.10, the pre-payment certificate (PPC) would have paid for itself after just two visits to the Smoke Stop counsellor.

A PPC is a bit like a season ticket for the chemist. It can be purchased in one of two durations - three months or twelve months.It means that no further prescription charges need to be handed over, however many items there may be on a prescription, whilst the PPC is still in date.

Hopefully by the time my PPC expires, I will no longer be addicted to nicotine.
