Highlights from this day
- belfast_bac — member reported tier 3 waits in england were all over the place, from nine months to nearly three years, as of about a year ago 14:56
- maintenance_mo — i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what… 18:04
- maintenance_mo — how much do the online clinics actually check 19:00
- maintenance_mo — as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight 20:48
anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round
update from 15 months ago: my clinic price went up by $72 and the supply steadied in the same month
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
scotland differs
supply was upstream
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 - 260👍7😂15⚠️15
what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word
is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement
ring more pharmacies
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
border force stopped a parcel of mine and sent a letter, and that was the whole of it. no follow up and no knock at the door

the private quotes i collected last spring ran from about 130 to about 250 a month depending on dose, and that will have moved since

the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me, not advice obviously
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
[edited]unlicensed isnt illegal
did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35
update from 4 months ago: my clinic price went up by $38 and the supply steadied in the same month
coming back after 14 months, is the nhs picture any better

there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what happened at the end of it was not clear to me then and may be clearer now
ask your gp

whats the cheapest legitimate private route people have found in the uk
how much do the online clinics actually check
🔥14📈2
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee, ask me again in a month
