Highlights from this day
- amsterdam_aliquot — ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round 15:13
- amsterdam_aliquot — a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries, not advice obviously 16:02
- warsaw_vial — that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu, i think 17:36
- gip_glp_gil — my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did 18:00
- invoice_mismatch — 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, happy to be corrected 18:14
parcels entering the eu get assessed at the first point of entry rather than at your own border, which caught me out badly
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
how far ahead do people order given transit inside the eu
ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round

approval isnt reimbursement
poland came out cheapest of the four countries members compared about eighteen months ago
anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes
