Hospitalisation
If you are admitted to hospital, you can claim up to a maximum of SEK 70 for each day of hospitalised care.

Keep In Mind
- You are not eligible to claim for reimbursement of expenses for treatment or medicines incurred if you are abroad on holiday and become ill. If you are abroad on a work trip, you can in certain cases receive reimbursement for the expenses you incurred as a result of hospitalisation, dental care and medicines.
- You cannot receive reimbursement for dental care unless you damaged your teeth as a result of a workplace accident.
- If you are on unpaid leave, you may be entitled to reimbursement for health and medical expenses. Contact the Office of Human Resources to find out what applies in your particular case.
