[Question] how do you actually verify reimbursement
Question in the title, detail here: how do you actually verify reimbursement.
Nothing here is medical or legal advice, and eligibility questions have national answers that a pharmacist where you live can give you in minutes.
Assumed a prescription would be honoured across the border. It was not, and the rules are clear once you actually read them.
Read the published reimbursement criteria where I live rather than asking. Took twenty minutes and answered everything.
Happy to answer the boring questions. Those are usually the ones worth asking.

This is the split the whole board depends on. Authorisation is European; payment is national.
Small fix — those two prices are for different pack sizes, which accounts for most of the gap.
Agreed that pharmacy margin regulation explains a lot of the price differences people find mysterious.
Right, and a shortage notice in one country tells you very little about the next one along.
Pack sizes and presentations differ between member states, so a headline price is not comparable until it is normalised to a common quantity.
Careful, that guidance is from a different country and this thread is asking about somewhere else entirely.
Cross-border prescription recognition exists under EU rules but is conditional and narrower than commonly assumed, with requirements about the prescription’s form and content.

Agreed — and normalising pack size before comparing prices is the fix for half these threads.
Published reimbursement criteria exist in most member states and are usually available in the national language. They are the authoritative answer to eligibility questions that this board can only guess at.
This. The published reimbursement criteria are the document to read, and most member states do publish them.
Marketing authorisation is granted centrally for these products; reimbursement, pricing and prescribing criteria are national competences. Those are decided by different bodies with different processes.

Adding the practical step — read your own country’s published criteria. They exist and they are definitive.
