quebec is different

pharmacy price in canada versus the us, is the gap as big as people claim
hold till march
private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers
while im here is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial
*PeptideMeter not the other one
a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that, for what its worth
spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free
how do people insulate against cold rather than against heat
as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright
right so cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border
diabetes covered, weight not

thirteen questions not one
any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them
an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly
ok so quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago, we shall see
the canada to us gap was reported at roughly a third to a half of the us price a year or two ago, and that will have moved
the truck is the risk
postal in winter
member reported 2024
insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction
the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about
wouldnt use a thawed solution
for the archive the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not
check your plan
coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another
🧊1📉2
i hold orders between january and march where i can. a preference, not a rule anybody gave me
does anyone hold their orders between december and march
nobody here can tell you what your plan covers. plans differ inside the same province, never mind between them
did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back
a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly

six weeks of stock
that was a pilot not policy
quick one do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
update from 4 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially
is provincial coverage as much of a patchwork as it looks from outside
has anyone compared a canadian pharmacy price to an american one properly
does the postal service or the courier handle winter better
whats a realistic monthly figure with insurance
transit was 21 days for me with a week of nothing in the middle at a customs facility
is it worth just waiting until spring to order
there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time

winter shipping, is freezing the actual risk rather than heat
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one
does private insurance cover it in canada or only some plans
gel packs either direction
my monthly cost with partial insurance came to about 120 canadian dollars, which is not a number anybody else can use

powder survived a freeze
anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all
does cross border make any sense from canada or is it not worth the bother
