Advice on paying for NHS prescriptions for ivf

[Mrsgled1982]

Hiya everyone.

Has anyone gone through IVF at the Leeds reproductive medicine at seacroft hospital.

I will be starting my 1st NHS funded cycle may/June time and wondered what happens with prescription charges.

I was thinking of getting a prepaid card that last 3 months. Has anyone else used this method?

Hiya, my clinic have advised me to get a 3 month pre pay as it works out cheapest if you ask they should give you the right time you should order xx

I got a pre paid card for 3 months. I'm in Leeds too. It definitely works out cheaper. Good luck with your cycle xx

I paid no prescription charges at Leeds as I was NHS funded. Hang back with the card until you are sure you need it. We just paid extras that we asked for but not for medication. All medication is delivered to you at home by a specialist company.

It is definitely cheaper to get the prescription card just bear in mind that it can take around 7 days for you to receive the card once you have applied online and I had to collect all my meds from the pharmacy hospital in order to use my card as boots pharmacy couldn't accept the card they said it only applied at hospital pharmacy xxx
