pharmacy prices in germany were fairly uniform when i checked because of how they are regulated. in spain they varied much more, thats just me
the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does

germany, whats the actual difference in cost between a private and a statutory prescription
is vat charged on a parcel coming into the eu and how much are we talking
the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix
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
anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying
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
any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
has anyone found a national scheme that actually covers this
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries, ill dig out the number

the cheapest eu route a member found was a local pharmacy with a local prescription, which is no help if you have neither
varies by pharmacy

nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget
cross border in theory
coming back after 12 months, has anything changed on reimbursement anywhere
nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget
a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that

genuine question is carrying it in a suitcase inside the eu a problem
is the price the same across pharmacies in a country or does it vary a lot
the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does, we shall see
my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did

for the archive i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork
i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not
⚠️1
i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 25 days once
update from 15 months ago: nothing changed on reimbursement where i am and the price went up anyway, from memory
😂16📈6⚠️3
does a prescription from one eu country work in another
for the archive what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu

unrelated but i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling
a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
