three years of TGA threads, summarised so you do not have to read them

Pricing Receipts ×4 Cold Box ×2

three years of TGA threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments.

Someone posted US advice in an Australian thread and it took four replies to untangle it. Say your country.

Kept the script and the receipt for a private health claim and both were requested.

The compounded arrangements changed while I was mid-thread and I was arguing from a superseded position.

If somebody has the same thing measured a different way, post it next to mine and we will see whether they agree.

Compounded supply arrangements have changed materially in recent years. Advice predating that change describes a situation that no longer applies.

Correcting myself: the compounded position changed and my earlier comment was describing the old one.

Push back: the compounded arrangements changed and the advice you are quoting predates the change.
