Highlights from this day
- rezept_rolf — no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from, not advice obviously 18:20
- nordic_price_nils — 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 20:37
- warsaw_vial — a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that, i have it written down somewhere 20:40
- warsaw_vial — anyone compared the price for the same dose in two eu countries properly 21:15
- lyophile_liv — does a prescription from one eu country work in another 21:24
as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it
handling fee is worse than vat
three working days

my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did
what happens if a parcel gets picked up entering the eu
can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another
the cheapest eu route a member found was a local pharmacy with a local prescription, which is no help if you have neither
[edited]12 days inside the eu
🙏1
quick one what does privat versus kassenrezept mean in money terms
nobody here can tell you what is legal in your country and the mods stop that conversation early
parcels entering the eu get assessed at the first point of entry rather than at your own border, which caught me out badly
how do you deal with a supplier whose support is in one language only
the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year, from memory
unrelated but spain, is it pharmacy only and what does it come to
[edited]any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
nordic prices look brutal, is that real or is that just what gets reported
that was 2024 pricing

send both languages
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
[edited]the language thing improved a lot when i stopped using idioms, and that was the actual fix, ymmv
a member in spain said their pharmacy price was lower than germany when they compared in 2024, and i cannot verify that, i have it written down somewhere
i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not
a german member reported paying around 300 euros a month privately in 2024. one person, one dose, one pharmacy
i was wrong about the cross border prescription rules and a pharmacist corrected me in person, which was humbling
member reported
anyone compared the price for the same dose in two eu countries properly
