Highlights from this day
- vienna_vial — nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget 22:48
- madrid_mg — ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other 23:05
- rezept_rolf — crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it 23:12
- vienna_vial — 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 23:21
write simple english
handling fee is worse than vat
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
poland pricing, has anyone compared it against germany
i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling
has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it
is the price the same across pharmacies in a country or does it vary a lot
for the archive is carrying it in a suitcase inside the eu a problem
ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other

i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 15 days once, n of 1 obviously
a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that
anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it

what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu
quick one no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
what does privat versus kassenrezept mean in money terms
coming back to this a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
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
prices moved since
transit inside the eu was 26 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
that was 2024 pricing
ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round
poland came out cheapest of the four countries members compared about eighteen months ago, still working it out
that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu
nordics are brutal
anyone compared the price for the same dose in two eu countries properly
cross border in theory
germany, whats the actual difference in cost between a private and a statutory prescription
the price for the same dose in two eu countries differed by about forty percent in the one careful comparison i have seen in here
