              The Leqvio/Inclisiran prescription will be reimbursed at £50 which
              constitutes the reimbursement for the £45 purchase cost plus £5.
              Unfortunately, clawback will still be applied to Dispensing Doctors (not to
              pharmacy contractors) but at least the product dose not make you a loss
              which seems to be the main concern from the emails I have had. You do
              not need to endorse the prescription. The £50 will be paid automatically
              and as this is an injectable the PA (VAT) allowance will also be paid.

              Contractors should not expect to incur any additional charges or fees
              when ordering Leqvio/Inclisiran from AAH UK.
              I hope that clarifies what has caused some confusion. You can pass
              the information on to local chemists too, as I know some are pushing
              prescriptions back to you saying they cannot supply.
