transit inside the eu was 14 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round
that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu
has anyone found a national scheme that actually covers this

germany, whats the actual difference in cost between a private and a statutory prescription
follow up how are people managing when support only speaks one language and it isnt yours
as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
[edited]nobody here can tell you what is legal in your country and the mods stop that conversation early
*Medutest not the other one
ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other
a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
handling fee is worse than vat

nordics are brutal
nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget
translate your message and send both versions. that got me answers when english alone had not
is it reimbursed anywhere in the eu or is it private everywhere

three working days
a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork
✅2⚠️2
the cheapest eu route a member found was a local pharmacy with a local prescription, which is no help if you have neither
any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
write simple english
anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying
what does privat versus kassenrezept mean in money terms
no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from, for what its worth
for the archive in germany the split is privat versus kasse. a private prescription means you pay the pharmacy price yourself and when i checked last year that was a lot

my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did
has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it
coming back to this i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling
🧊5✅14👀1
anyone had a german pharmacy order it in and how long did that take
🧊2
any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
the price for the same dose in two eu countries differed by about forty percent in the one careful comparison i have seen in here
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
*PeptideMeter not the other one
that was 2024 pricing
prices moved since
how do you deal with a supplier whose support is in one language only
diabetes yes weight no
✅1🔥11
how does a pharmacy handle it if you have no local insurance at all
anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes
privat means you pay
does a prescription from one eu country work in another
update from 8 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries, thats one data point
