Digital Maternity Exemptions
Shortlisted for Best Public Sector Digital Project
NHSBSA has launched a digital service to make it easier and quicker for healthcare professionals to issue Maternity Exemption Certificates (Matex) to expectant and new mothers. Matex entitles pregnant women and women who have given birth in the last 12 months to get free NHS prescriptions and NHS dental treatment.
The new digital service includes a self-registration function for midwives, reducing a 5-day wait to just a few minutes and saving time and money for the NHS. It also means mums-to-be can receive their certificate instantly via email.

Am I Exempt?
Shortlisted for Best Public Sector Digital Project
The NHS online eligibility checker is helping patients to understand if they are entitled to receive free NHS prescriptions and NHS dental treatment and how to claim correctly to avoid unnecessary penalty charges. It takes less than two minutes to complete and can also let patients know about other means of support available, such as the NHS Low Income Scheme.
