申請 NHS 免費領藥 Medical Exemption Certificate

在英國某些長期疾病是可以申請免藥費的，這些疾病包括：

• a permanent fistula (for example, caecostomy, colostomy, laryngostomy or ileostomy) which needs continuous surgical dressing or an appliance
• a form of hypoadrenalism (for example, Addison’s Disease) for which specific substitution therapy is essential
• diabetes insipidus and other forms of hypopituitarism
• diabetes mellitus, except where treatment is by diet alone
• hypoparathyroidism
• myasthenia gravis
• myxoedema (that is, hypothyroidism which needs thyroid hormone replacement)
• epilepsy which needs continuous anticonvulsive therapy
• a continuing physical disability which means you cannot go out without the help of another person
• cancer and are undergoing treatment for either:
• cancer
• the effects of cancer
• the effects of cancer treatment

申請方法一定要到自己登記的 GP 診所拿取 "Medical Exemption Certificate"表格 FP92A ，填妥後即時交回診所；亦可把填好的表格郵寄回 NHS。

若申請成功，約兩星期後你回收到一張證明咭如下：

我是網上領藥的，只要將證明咭上載到我指定的藥房網站或手機應用程式，每次領藥便不用付費； 相信到實體藥房領藥的朋友，向藥房出示這張咭同樣可括免藥費。
