- nordic_price_nils — a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries 22:35
- ghk_gia — statutory insurance in germany did not cover it for weight when i last read about it. for the diabetes indication it was a different conversation 22:49

- nordic_price_nils — what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu 23:02
- nordic_price_nils — right so a prescription from one member state is meant to be recognised in another under the cross border rules. whether the pharmacist knows that is another matter 23:31
