HELFO card - Norwegian insurance in Poland, the most important information

Many of you are probably asking yourself whether I am insured and can use a doctor in Poland when leaving the rotation in Norway. First of all, you need to make sure that you get a HELFO card.

 

What is the HELFO Card?

When working in Norway and paying insurance premiums, we can apply for a HELFO Card.

The HELFO card (Health Economics Administration Card), or more precisely "Helfo kort" in Norwegian, is a Norwegian national health insurance card that gives you access to a range of healthcare services, including treatment, dental care and prescription drugs. The card is issued to all residents of Norway and is used to identify persons who are entitled to healthcare services covered by the Norwegian Social Insurance System.

The HELFO CARD contains important information, such as the name and surname of the card holder, date of birth, PESEL number and entitlement to health care services. During a visit to the service provider, the card is presented to verify the cardholder's eligibility for benefits and to facilitate payment for these services.

 

Important!

Please note that the HELFO CARD does not cover all healthcare costs in Norway and some services may require additional fees or surcharges. In addition, the card does not provide travel insurance, so visitors to Norway should ensure that they have adequate medical insurance.

The card can be ordered by phone or online. People who have a D-number can place an order only by phone. Within 10 days of ordering, the card will be delivered to your inbox.
