When we took the latest presription in this week we had to pay 48 Euros as the balance. Can anyone shed some light on this please? p.s. we are getting round to taking out top up insurance through local insurance people ... next job on the list! Hand over the chocolate and no one get's hurt!!!    Report

I'd be surprised if your doctor hasn't done his bit, so it's probably still in the review process.  Give it a while yet, then follow up to your CPAM.   Waddya mean it's only Saturday......    Report
