- warsaw_vial — unrelated but 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… 10:26
- vienna_vial — that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu, i have it written down somewhere 13:52

as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu
vat on imports from outside the eu applied from a very low threshold when i last imported, and the carrier handling fee was bigger than the vat
is vat charged on a parcel coming into the eu and how much are we talking
cross border in theory
is the price the same across pharmacies in a country or does it vary a lot
varies by pharmacy
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
update from 18 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway

the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix

the cheapest eu route a member found was a local pharmacy with a local prescription, which is no help if you have neither
any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
