Operation no longer paid for by the patient

In the news on Swedish radio and TV a minister told that patients will in the future no longer be required to first pay for their operations performed in Europe and then apply for a refund. In stead ”Försäkringskassan” in the county in question will take care of the financial part with the medical service supplier without involving the patient.

Exactly when this will adopted is not known, but it is in line with European regulation on this point.
