Changes to HRT charges

On 1 April 2023, a new Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC) will be introduced to reduce the cost of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). If you are prescribed HRT, check if an HRT PPC will be more suitable for you. It covers an unlimited number of listed HRT medicines.

To purchase this one-off yearly charge for HRT please use the Buy an NHS Prescription Prepayment Certificate.
