check the date on that
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
my last customs bill was about twenty two percent of declared value plus a fixed handling charge that hurt more than the tax did
no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
how are people managing when support only speaks one language and it isnt yours
Reminder set. I will post here in 4 days.

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
is the customs handling fee worse than the vat itself
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries
as of about a year ago statutory cover in germany for weight indications still was not there, so check before quoting me on it

is carrying it in a suitcase inside the eu a problem
is it reimbursed anywhere in the eu or is it private everywhere
the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
quick one the language barrier with support is real. i write in short plain english and it works better than good english does
