[Question] NZ unfunded means full price. is anyone actually paying that.

Question

Quick one. Canada here.

Australia works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 10 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

This is correct.

Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 97.4% on the same vial is normal.

Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.

Adding to this: TGA is doing more work than the comment implies.

Maintenance for 2 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.
