 ### NHS barcode
 
-All letters sent with NHS Notify will automatically have Royal Mail's [NHS barcode (opens in a new tab)](https://www.royalmailwholesale.com/news/nhs-mail-new-barcode-solution){:target="\_blank"} on the envelope.
+Letters about test results, appointments and urgent messages can get [Royal Mail's NHS barcode (opens in a new tab)](https://www.royalmailwholesale.com/news/nhs-mail-new-barcode-solution){:target="\_blank"} on the envelope.
+
+You'll need to send by 1st or 2nd class to be able to get the NHS barcode. If you choose NHS Notify's standard postage, you will not get the barcode but your postage rate will be much cheaper. Find out more about [pricing]({% link pages/pricing/letters.md %}).
 
 The NHS barcode allows Royal Mail to identify NHS letters. During busy periods locally or nationally, Royal Mail will prioritise NHS letters using the NHS barcode.
