Further information on price concessions and FAQs about the process involved can be found on the PSNC website (psnc.org.uk/priceconcessions) A price concession only applies for the month in which it is granted. No additional prescription endorsement are required as the new price is automatically applied by the NHSBSA to all items submitted for payment in the same month for which a price concession is granted. PSNC is still working with the DHSC to agree further concessionary prices on other drugs reported to be unavailable at the stated April 2022 Drug Tariff price.
If you subscribe to the PSNC mailing list, you can receive an e-mail notification as soon as any price concession announcements are made. Please note that PSNC cannot provide details of any generic products awaiting a decision from DHSC for a price concession.
