how does a pharmacy handle it if you have no local insurance at all

genuine question anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying
update on the earlier thing as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
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
can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another
parcels entering the eu get assessed at the first point of entry rather than at your own border, which caught me out badly
nordic prices look brutal, is that real or is that just what gets reported
update on the earlier thing is there anywhere in the eu where this is actually cheap

i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling
anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes
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
25 days inside the eu

germany, whats the actual difference in cost between a private and a statutory prescription
write simple english
handling fee is worse than vat
i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not
[edited]the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
nordics are brutal

what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu
ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries
follow up update from 25 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway
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
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
diabetes yes weight no
poland pricing, has anyone compared it against germany
privat means you pay
poland was cheapest
my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did, thats one data point
i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 16 days once
is it reimbursed anywhere in the eu or is it private everywhere
does a prescription from one eu country work in another
coming back after 17 months, has anything changed on reimbursement anywhere
