[QUOTE="whosbear, post: 769339, member: 15629"] I think your a very luck person to only have to pay £96! Since 1998 how many Prescriptions have you handed over the counter? Think that a prescription nowadays is now £9 odd it only takes 10 prescriptions to be paid. I'm sure you've had more than 10 scrips. I started paying when I was first diagnosed about but with a good GP, they told me I could fill a form and get my prescription paid for. I still feel kind of guilty about not paying but that's what it's there for. It's true diabetics do take up 10% of NHS money but that's why we need to look after our precious NHS. When you tick (E) on the back of your prescription you are declaring that you HAVE a medical exemption certificate. If your signing it and you don't have said card, that's frued! It only take an FP92A form from the doctors to be filled out. Get it signed by anyone from the practice and the card should take about 5 working days. I did have a problem January last year when my card was due for replacement. The receptionist gave me the wrong form even when I explained it was the wrong for I got shouted down by her saying 'It's the only form your getting'. It took about 3 weeks in the end to get the right form, put the receptionist got a telling off when I complained. I was £100 better off by the time I got my receipts paid back from my chemist using an FP57 form, again from the GP. Even though I was on first name terms with the chemist I still had to pay until my card came through. [/QUOTE]
