Where to Obtain Information & Refunds

Local Social Insurance Offices (Lokala Försäkringskassan). For public health services, you'll be charged only a non-refundable fee, if you present your E111.

If you use private health services, the costs aren't refundable.

Doctors, Dentists & Prescriptions

• Consult a practitioner who is affiliated to the public insurance scheme.
• Present your E111, otherwise you'll be charged the full cost of treatment. Even with the E111 form you'll still have to pay a proportion of the cost.
• For dental treatment you'll have to pay the full cost at a given level.
• If the costs exceed this level you'll also have to pay a certain percentage (30-65%) of the excess.
• For prescribed medicines you'll be liable to pay the full cost up to SEK 400 ( or £31.37p).
• If the costs exceed this you will have to pay a certain percentage (10-50%) of the excess.

Hospital Treatment

You can get emergency treatment any public hospital. The emergency unit is the Akutmottagningen. You'll have to pay a proportion of the cost of out-patient care, but in-patient treatment is free of charge, except for a fixed daily hospital charge, which is non-refundable (SEK 80, or £6.27p).

Non-EEA nationals resident in the UK may also be covered for emergency health treatment in Sweden under a separate reciprocal agreement. You'll need to produce your NHS medical card or your passport.
