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

Highlights from this day
- night_pin — while im here you can carry a personal quantity between eu countries in practice. the rules on quantity and prescription vary and i would not rely on my reading of them 12:36
- invoice_mismatch — spain, is it pharmacy only and what does it come to 13:22
- amylin_amy — statutory insurance in germany did not cover it for weight when i last read about it. for the diabetes indication it was a different conversation, still working it out 13:27
- nordic_price_nils — the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does 13:52
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot B-0114: 97.4% vs 99%. Within expected range. 13:55
is carrying it in a suitcase inside the eu a problem
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries
poland pricing, has anyone compared it against germany
diabetes yes weight no
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
has anyone crossed a border specifically to buy it
anyone in sweden or denmark want to compare notes
while im here you can carry a personal quantity between eu countries in practice. the rules on quantity and prescription vary and i would not rely on my reading of them

has anyone found a national scheme that actually covers this
statutory insurance in germany did not cover it for weight when i last read about it. for the diabetes indication it was a different conversation, still working it out
that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu
nobody here can tell you what is legal in your country and the mods stop that conversation early
the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does

parcels entering the eu get assessed at the first point of entry rather than at your own border, which caught me out badly, anyway
Inter-lab diff for lot B-0114: 97.4% vs 99%. Within expected range.
anyone compared the price for the same dose in two eu countries properly
