Highlights from this day

diabetes yes weight no
send both languages
nordics are brutal
handling fee is worse than vat
[edited]cross border in theory
ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round
👀1😂4❤️4
has anyone found a national scheme that actually covers this
three working days
poland was cheapest
update from 24 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway
anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes
right so i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 21 days once, ymmv
a swedish member put their monthly cost at roughly double what a polish member was paying, as of last year
[edited]reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260translate your message and send both versions. that got me answers when english alone had not
Reminder set. I will post here in 9 days.
transit inside the eu was 25 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
member reported
as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
for the archive any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today

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
i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork
that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu, ask me again in a month
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries
you can carry a personal quantity between eu countries in practice. the rules on quantity and prescription vary and i would not rely on my reading of them
i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling
write simple english
ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other
coming back after 10 months, has anything changed on reimbursement anywhere
a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
privat means you pay

how do you deal with a supplier whose support is in one language only
you can carry a personal quantity between eu countries in practice. the rules on quantity and prescription vary and i would not rely on my reading of them
has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it
check the date on that
prices moved since
nordic prices look brutal, is that real or is that just what gets reported

the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does
a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that
while im here nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget
