Highlights from this day
  • vale_vials — i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not 20:39
  • monoisotopic — handling fee is worse than vat 20:57
  • rezept_rolf — the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year 21:21

anyone in the netherlands able to say what theyre paying

cross border in theory

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

how far ahead do people order given transit inside the eu

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

RR

ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round

the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year

the price for the same dose in two eu countries differed by about forty percent in the one careful comparison i have seen in here

RR

quick one a prescription from one member state is meant to be recognised in another under the cross border rules. whether the pharmacist knows that is another matter

VV

i order about six weeks ahead because a customs delay inside the eu still cost me 9 days once

VV

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

VV

transit inside the eu was 8 days for me door to door, which is faster than anything i have had from outside it
