According to TreatCompare private GP comparison data, the medicine itself is one of the most important hidden costs because private prescriptions are charged at the pharmacy's private medicine price.

What to check

Ask whether the GP can prescribe electronically, whether the prescription can be sent to your chosen pharmacy, whether controlled drugs have extra rules, and what happens if the GP decides prescribing is not clinically appropriate.

Compare online and in-person private GP providers that can issue prescriptions where clinically appropriate.
