Highlights from this day
- rezept_rolf — can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another 12:48
- fibre_first — update from 18 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway 13:56
- gip_glp_gil — right so that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu 15:37
nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget
transit inside the eu was 4 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that
a swedish member put their monthly cost at roughly double what a polish member was paying, as of last year
[edited]privat means you pay
is the price the same across pharmacies in a country or does it vary a lot
diabetes yes weight no
check the date on that
can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another

is the customs handling fee worse than the vat itself
follow up the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does
update from 18 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway

i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 17 days once
handling fee is worse than vat
prices moved since
does a prescription from one eu country work in another
is vat charged on a parcel coming into the eu and how much are we talking
cross border in theory
send both languages
anyone compared the price for the same dose in two eu countries properly
i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not
anyone had a german pharmacy order it in and how long did that take
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
right so that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu

6 days inside the eu
nordics are brutal
vat on imports from outside the eu applied from a very low threshold when i last imported, and the carrier handling fee was bigger than the vat, i could be wrong
the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
approval isnt reimbursement
netherlands was reported in here at around 200 euros a month out of pocket a year or so ago, with conditions attached to any reimbursement
