Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme
Patients on benefits or with low incomes can find it difficult to meet the cost of travelling to hospital or other healthcare premises for treatments or diagnostic tests.
The Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme was set up to provide financial assistance to patients who do not have a medical need for ambulance transport, but who require assistance with their travel costs.
Patients on low incomes or receiving specific qualifying benefits or allowances are reimbursed in part or in full for costs incurred in travelling to receive certain NHS services, if their journeys meet certain criteria.
