[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 772771, member: 84861"] I don't think that is what [USER=120062]@angelicbaby[/USER] was saying at all . I understood her post to mean that on diagnosis of any exemption condition, it is ensured that the patient is made aware of the necessity for applying for the exemption certificate and the form issued to the patient. Unfortunately many HCP's whilst being aware of the prescription exemption, are unaware of the process assuming it to be automatic. That's not necessarily their fault, it's a beurocracy outside of their remit. Hopefully, that will now change . As I understand it, it actually is necessary for pharmacy staff to ask to see the card at least once, so that the number can be entered into the system. If evidence is not available, then this needs to be stated by the pharmacist on section 3 highlighted on your scanned form . The pharmacist should then advise the patient that they will have to pay, but issue a receipt along with advise that this payment will be refunded.I have no clue what would happen if the patient was unable to pay up front. I don't see any absolution of personal responsibility in that ? So how does that differ from what you have been saying ? I actually agree with your stance on the whole issue , [USER=124915]@mike@conisbrough[/USER], but I do think that last post was inaccurate as to what the poster was saying, and unnecessarily abrupt.
