[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 1645607, member: 420515"] As explained to me by the pharmacist, in theory they have to see your exemption card every time you tick the medical exemption box on the prescription. In practice, if they charged you the refundable prescription charge every time you couldn't produce the card, they'd loose a lot of customers. My pharmacy has set it up so the computer flags it up if they haven't seen your card for a while, and you are firmly advised to bring it in next time. Interestingly, they don't take note of the expiry date. Came in handy when I was accidentally sent a 10 year MATERNITY exemption card. [/QUOTE]
