Help with healthcare costs

If you have questions about help with health costs, join the Help with Health Costs team on Facebook, where the NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) will respond to your queries Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 6.00pm.

Or you can call the Help with Health Costs Helpline on 0300 330 1343.

You must check that you're entitled to help with health costs before signing any declaration stating that you are.

You may have to pay a fine if you make a false claim. You would have to pay the cost of the sight test and the value of the voucher charge, plus a penalty charge of up to £100.
