Yes Lynn when I thought about it in the past I have had tablets prescribed at the hospital which I still take now and they went straight onto my card from the hospital. It's one of those things at least they are registered on my card now .

I was on a max dose of statins but I had some problems with them. The hospital prescribed an injection instead. Every 3 months for a year and then twice yearly. They seem to be effective with no apparent side effects. The only snag - they cost €4000 a shot! The Spanish health service does not seem to worry about the cost if they deem it an effective solution.

To get back on topic - my 'claim' for petrol money was finally paid out last Wednesday - quite a wait but 104'72€ was credited to my bank account -
which is about 2 tankfuls (pre-war prices!) so given the mileage involved is actually about right.

Worth bearing in mind, or maybe it's a Valencia region thing only!

Good news that you have received your reimbursement. You said on 7th February that you'd submitted the claim so it seems quite a reasonable timescale, really.

Andalucia does have a similar system for reclaiming costs if a patient isn't able to use public transport either because of distance or for medical reasons, as yet neither my husband or I have had to claim.

Yes, I have no complaints (for once hahaha), and it was unexpected (before I was given the claim forms), so you live and learn.

I hope sharing can help others.
