European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland:
If you or any of your dependants are suddenly taken ill or have an accident during a visit to an EEA country or Switzerland, free or reduced-cost necessary treatment is available – in most cases on production of a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Each country has different rules about state medical provision. In some, treatment is free. In many countries you will have to pay part or all of the cost, and then claim a full or partial refund. The EHIC gives access to state-provided medical treatment only and the scheme gives no entitlement to medical repatriation costs, nor does it cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is advised. Note that the EHIC replaces the Form E111, which will no longer be valid after 31 December 2005. Some restrictions apply, depending on your nationality. Please note that Swiss nationals and people who do not have UK, EU or EEA nationality are not covered by the EHIC in Norway.
Standards of health care are high. Make sure you see a doctor who has a reimbursement arrangement with the National Insurance Administration. This includes most medical practitioners. There is a non-refundable standard fee. You will usually have to pay the full cost of any dental treatment. Chemists are called Apotek. You will have to pay for most prescribed medicines. However, if you are prescribed medication by a doctor on a blue prescription (generally medication for chronic conditions) you will pay only 36 per cent of the costs, up to a maximum of NOK 360 per prescription. Charges are payable for specialist hospital consultations and out-patient treatment. Normally, a GP will refer you to hospital. In an emergency, you can get treatment from the nearest public hospital. Hospital in-patient treatment, including necessary medication, is free of charge.
