Nexplanon UPDATE from Dispex!!

By Dr Philip Koopowitz – Dispex & Hexagon6

Following clarification from NHSBSA, the reclassification of Nexplanon as “Attracts an Administration Fee”
only comes into force on 1st January 2025.

I would like to apologise to anyone who I may have told that this reclassification starts from 1st October 2024.
I had clearly not read the small print which was in section 1, above this new direction in section 2.2.

Citation, commencement, extent, application and interpretation 

  1. (3) Directions 2(2)(b) comes into force on 1st January 2025.

  Amendment of the Principal Directions  

  1.  (2) (b) in paragraph (4)— (i) after sub-paragraph (e), insert “(f) sub-dermal contraceptive implants”.
