Lateral flow device tests supply advanced service
The lateral flow device (LFD) tests supply service for patients potentially eligible for COVID-19 treatments will launch on 6 November 2023. Eligible patients will be able to obtain a free box of five LFD tests from community pharmacies who have signed up to provide.
Access to LFD test kits allows eligible patients to self-test if they have symptoms which suggest they may have COVID-19, with the potential for them to access treatment if the result is positive.
A service fee of £4 + VAT will be paid for each completed transaction of the supply of one box of five COVID-19 LFD test kits and the cost of tests supplied will be paid according to arrangements set out in the November 2023 Drug Tariff.
