- warsaw_vial — handling fee is worse than vat 20:51
- madrid_mg — nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget, ill dig out the number 22:18
- gip_glp_gil — in germany the split is privat versus kasse. a private prescription means you pay the pharmacy price yourself and when i checked last year that was a lot 22:28
- madrid_mg — 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 23:06
member reported
crossing a border to buy it happens and people are quiet about it, which tells you how comfortable they are with it
nordics are brutal
ema approval means licensed but not that anyone pays for it, is that the right way round
poland came out cheapest of the four countries members compared about eighteen months ago
a member reported reimbursement under a national scheme for diabetes and flatly not for weight, and that was the pattern across several countries
😂9🙏9
no local insurance means the pharmacy price, full stop, in every country a member has reported from
sorry to jump in that is the thing people get wrong constantly. approved and paid for are two completely different processes in the eu
handling fee is worse than vat

ema approval is a licence, not a payment decision. every member state decides reimbursement separately and they do not agree with each other
poland was cheapest
that was 2024 pricing
cross border in theory
any figure in this channel should be read as the month somebody typed it, not as the price today
how does a pharmacy handle it if you have no local insurance at all
i keep a note of what i paid each month because the number moves and my memory of it does not
8 days inside the eu
approval isnt reimbursement
send both languages
can you legally buy in one eu country and take it to another
i had one pharmacy in another eu country refuse a foreign prescription and one accept it, same month, same paperwork, i think
nordic pricing genuinely was higher in every comparison i have seen here, and the incomes are higher too, which people forget, ill dig out the number
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
in germany the split is privat versus kasse. a private prescription means you pay the pharmacy price yourself and when i checked last year that was a lot
privat means you pay
coming back to this the honest position is that eu reimbursement is a moving target and nothing said in here stays true for a year
how are people managing when support only speaks one language and it isnt yours
prices moved since
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
