Frequently asked questions
In accordance with the rules on sensitive health information and privacy (GDPR), you must use the secure encrypted online solution when using your health insurance.
Please do not send referrals or other sensitive personal information by email.
An approved referral must include the following information:
- Personal details: name, national ID number, address, and phone number.
- Diagnosis code and a description of the issue, including any relevant findings such as test results or imaging.
- Information about the type of medical specialist and the examination being referred to.

- The referral must be dated and no older than 12 months. For imaging, the referral must not be older than 6 months.
If you downloaded the referral from Helsenorge.no, it is important that you take photos of all pages so that the information above is clearly visible.
Important: Referrals in Word format (or other editable documents) are not accepted.
Please note that the health insurance is meant to supplement public healthcare and help provide faster assessment or treatment when waiting times in the public system are long.
If it is not possible to seek reimbursement in a case, this means that your own expenses related to the treatment in that case are not covered by the insurance.
If the case is approved, you will receive confirmation that the referral has been sent to the medical clinic, or information that you can book an appointment with a provider.
If treatment is denied, you will receive information by encrypted email.
You can find more information about your submitted cases after logging in.
