No , we don’t charge the NHS any extra. All the delivery costs are paid for by RXLive, we absorb the cost from our company and not the NHS. If you received your prescription normally from your local pharmacy they would charge the same to the NHS as we do, the only difference is we're providing you with a free delivery. Therefore you & the NHS are not been charged a single penny extra!
RXLive uses a 2048-bit encryption. 2048 bit is the highest encryption and provides better protection, thereby making the system more difficult to infiltrate and more secure. This encryption is used for validating identity (signing) and ensuring that only the intended recipient can access the information sent. It is composed of two pieces, a public key and a private key. The keys are actually related to each other by two very large pseudo-prime numbers (prime in relation to each other), therefore it is difficult to differentiate the private key from the public key. You have our assurance that all the data on the RXLive site through the app and website is fully encrypted data, therefore our 2048 bit SSL Certificates provide the highest levels of encryption and authentication.
