You may be eligible to receive financial help with attending hospital thanks to the NHS Health Travel Cost Scheme.
To get help with travel costs, you need to meet three conditions.
- At the time of your appointment, you or your partner (including civil partners) must receive one of the qualifying benefits or allowances listed on the NHS website or meet the eligibility criteria for the NHS low income scheme.
- You must have a referral from a healthcare professional to a specialist or a hospital for further NHS treatment or tests. This is often referred to as secondary care.
- Your appointment must be on a separate visit to when the referral was made. This applies whether your treatment is provided at a different location (hospital or clinic) or on the same premises as where the GP or another health professional issued the referral.
How to claim back your transport costs
When you arrive for your appointment, please let the reception staff know you want to claim back transport fares. They will complete a travel expense form for you and direct you to the location of General Office who will then process your claim. You will need to provide the following:
- Proof of entitlement to claim reimbursement of travel expenses
- The form authorised by the clinic
- Valid travel ticket (where travel ticket is not provided, mileage will be paid).
Additional information
Only travel expenses for the cheapest form of transport will be reimbursed e.g. bus, train or mileage if by car. Unfortunately, we cannot reimburse taxi fares but can reimburse the equivalent in bus fares.
If you have driven to your appointment, or for medical reasons require an escort, parking can be reimbursed.
At Aintree University Hospital, no cash reimbursement is required as arrangements will be made for the barrier to be lifted.
At Broadgreen Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, you will be reimbursed in cash to exit the car park.
