NHS Charges

NHS treatment is available free of charge to patients who are eligible, and under the age of 18 at the start of treatment.

However, charges apply as follows:

• A charge of £62.70 to replace any appliance that is lost or damaged beyond repair.
• A charge of £17.50 for patients who are older than 18 years of age at completion of the treatment.

NHS charges must be paid in full. In case of a replacement appliance the charge is payable when the impression is taken.

Patients who experience financial hardship can apply for a refund from the NHS BSA, by completing a replacement appliance refund claim form FP17R/11. The form must be stamped by us before it is posted together with proof of payment.
