Clicking on the price reveals a popup with cost-effective alternatives, sorted by the lowest price per unit.

Displays an asterisk if an alternative item is reimbursable or offers a higher profit margin.

A figure in this column suggests alternative products at better prices.

Clicking on the price unveils a popup for easy comparison across all pack sizes.

Works similarly to the Best Price column but focuses on profits for reimbursable items.

An asterisk appears for items with alternatives at a higher profit margin or if a reimbursable alternative exists.

Check the NHS Rate column for an asterisk during ordering.

Clicking on the asterisk reveals alternative items for potential inclusion in the order list.

Important Notes on Reimbursement Prices

Reimbursement prices exclude VAT, discount fees, and dispensing fees.

Items below £50 might offset NHS discount costs with dispensing income. Above £50 it is advised to check on profit to ensure a profit exists.
