Helfo (The Norwegian Health Economics Administration) is the Directorate of Health’s external agency and annually administers around NOK 34 billion.

Helfo can assist you with a number of health related services, amongst other to find or change your regular GP, order European Health Insurance Card and reimbursement of medical expenses.

Patients are entitled to receive healthcare in another EEA country and subsequently apply for reimbursement of their expenses.

EEA citizens have the right to receive healthcare within the specialist health service in Norway. They must pay for the treatment out of pocket, and any reimbursement is a matter between them and their national health insurer.
