If you are seeking care for covid-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, it is free. It is classified as a dangerous disease, and therefore all exams, care and treatments must be free under the Infection Protection Act.
– Then the patient fee is eliminated at each stage. This applies to all covid-19 related care contacts, regardless of level of care, indicates the press service for the Västra Götaland region.
Typically, adults over the age of 18 pay a patient fee when seeking care. The cost varies between different regions and health institutions, but it applies to everything from visits to health centers to emergency clinics.
Furthermore, in the Stockholm region, freedom of cargo also applies to tourists and citizens of other countries, who are not normally covered by the Infection Protection Law. It is up to the treating physician to judge whether freedom of charge applies, the Stockholm Region writes in an email:
“It is the patient’s treating physician who must assess whether the patient is entitled to free treatment, that is, whether examination, care or treatment will reduce the risk of infection from the common dangerous disease.”
