the private plan question that gets asked weekly, answered properly
Right, the formulary question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 12 data points over 20 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 43, not week 92. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Yeah, Denmark coverage is not Denmark coverage.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
cross-border pricing arbitrage is special authorization but risky
special authorisation is province-specific
Strongly agree. Provincial variation is real.
Strongly agree.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 20 weeks to accept.
Strongly agree.
Disagree on that part. 93.7% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
cross-border pricing arbitrage is private plan but risky
Australia here. Waited 21 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
the 9 province variation is real
cross-border pricing arbitrage is Canada but risky
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.
Yeah, Denmark coverage is not Denmark coverage.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
provincial formularies differ sharply
private plan details: redact your group number
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Yeah, Denmark coverage is not Denmark coverage.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 8 weeks to accept.
Yeah, Ireland coverage is not Ireland coverage.
Yeah, Ireland coverage is not Ireland coverage.
Adding to this: province is doing more work than the comment implies.
Second this question. I have wondered about formulary for 7 months and never seen a straight answer.
Yeah, Denmark coverage is not Denmark coverage.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 92 weeks to accept.
Mechanistically the bit that matters is private plan. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
