NHS Prescription Services produces the Drug Tariff on a monthly basis on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
The Drug Tariff outlines:
- what will be paid to pharmacy contractors for NHS services provided either for reimbursement or for remuneration
- rules to follow when dispensing
- value of the fees and allowances you'll be paid
- drug and appliance prices you'll be paid

Where to access the Drug Tariff
The Drug Tariff is available in two versions on our website, a PDF version and the electronic Drug Tariff (eDT).
The PDF version is a duplicate of the paper tariff. This can be downloaded and used offline.
The eDT needs a continuous connection to the internet. There are no page numbers, and the format is different to the paper Drug Tariff.
