Hey guys,
so if the doctor has prescribed me a medicine that it doesn't have a genotype equivalent and it is on the "not reimbursement" list, do I pay it myself and then if it exceeds the EUR 612,62 per year I don't pay more than that, or is this applies only for reimbursable medicines?

The English page is unclear about it:neronakos wrote:Hey guys,

The Finnish page has the answer:
http://www.kela.fi/laakkeet_laakekatto
"Maksat itse aina osan lääkekuluistasi ns. omavastuuosuutena. Jos saman kalenterivuoden aikana korvatuista lääkkeistä, kliinisistä ravintovalmisteista ja perusvoiteista maksamasi omavastuuosuudet ylittävät 612,62 euroa kalenterivuodessa, sinulla on oikeus lisäkorvaukseen."
This means the limit only includes reimbursable medicines.
