Inclirisan invoice reminder

Community Pharmacy England has issued a reminder that Inclisiran (Leqvio®) 284mg/1.5ml solution for injection pre-filled syringe is available to order from the nominated wholesaler AAH UK at a nominal charge of £45 per pack for supply against NHS prescriptions.

This is a commercial agreement between Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd and NHS England.

For NHS orders of Inclisiran (Leqvio®), the nominal price should be reflected in your wholesaler invoice and pharmacies should not expect to incur any additional charges or fees from AAH UK. However, Community Pharmacy England has received a few reports of some pharmacies being incorrectly charged the full NHS list price of £1987.36 per pack instead of the nominal price of £45.  

Dispensaries that have been charged incorrectly for NHS orders of Inclisiran (Leqvio®) can request a repayment of any additional costs. In this first instance, dispensary teams are advised to contact AAH UK directly. If the issue remains unresolved, the query can be escalated to Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK directly on 08457 419 442 or via e-mail commercial.team@novartis.com.  

To support investigation of any pricing issues, dispensers should submit copies of invoices to AAH UK and Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK.  Should no resolution be identified by the suppliers within five working days of receipt, then contractors should escalate to the DDA.

Please note for dispensing against private prescriptions, stock must be obtained directly from Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd by contacting Novartis Customer Care on 08457 419 442 or via e-mail commercial.team@novartis.com. This will be charged at the current full NHS list price of £1987.36.
