approval isnt reimbursement

Channel stats, last 30 days: 47 messages from 32 members.

nobody here can tell you what is legal in your country and the mods stop that conversation early, still working it out

coming back after 23 months, has anything changed on reimbursement anywhere

germany, whats the actual difference in cost between a private and a statutory prescription

i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling, we shall see

transit inside the eu was 5 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it

Verification log updated: MKM — evidence added, status unchanged.

privat means you pay

that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu, take that with a pinch of salt

nordic prices look brutal, is that real or is that just what gets reported

coming back to this a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries, i think

member reported

varies by pharmacy

poland was cheapest

german pharmacies will order in what they do not stock. mine took three working days when i asked in 2024

that was 2024 pricing

crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it

how are people managing when support only speaks one language and it isnt yours

nordics are brutal

for the archive is vat charged on a parcel coming into the eu and how much are we talking

genuine question my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did, we shall see
