Welcome!

Information about the Exemption Card (Frikort)
Currently, the exemption card limit is set at 3278 NOK. This means that once you have paid a total of 3278 NOK in user fees within the same calendar year, you will no longer need to pay for public healthcare services that year. You do not need to do anything once you have reached this limit, as the creation of the exemption card happens automatically. If you have paid more than 3278 NOK by the time you pass the exemption card limit, you will automatically receive the excess amount back. You can find your exemption card, along with an overview of all your registered user fee payments, on Helsenorge.no.
Young adults are exempt from user fees up to the calendar year they turn 26. This means that all patients in mental health care and specialized addiction treatment under the age of 26 will receive all public healthcare services for free.
