Highlights from this day
  • tarpit_tam — i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double, ymmv 20:38
  • travel_cooler — canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time, take that with a pinch of salt 20:41
  • travel_cooler — update on the earlier thing any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them 20:58
  • typosquat_tay — coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another 21:52
  • still_here_2024 — whats a realistic monthly figure with insurance an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one 22:01

coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another

anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying

SH

the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly

YV

how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont

SH

whats a realistic monthly figure with insurance
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one

[edited]

nobody here can tell you what your plan covers. plans differ inside the same province, never mind between them

YV

is the freezing risk actually documented or is it a room theory

SH

a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that
