Highlights from this day
- snac_and_water — a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that 08:58
- rezept_rolf — ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other 08:59
- snac_and_water — 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 09:15
- snac_and_water — that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu 09:18
- snac_and_water — 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, thats one data point 09:21
