Frequently Asked Questions: Dermatologist in Norway
Do I need a referral (henvisning) to see a dermatologist in Norway?
To access a public hospital clinic or a private specialist with a public operating agreement (avtalespesialist) with subsidised co-payments (egenandel), a referral from your Fastlege (GP) is required. However, for private clinics without public contracts, you can book an appointment directly without a referral.
Are consultations with dermatologists covered by the frikort system?
Yes, user fees (egenandeler) paid at public hospitals and avtalespesialister count toward your annual 2026 frikort co-payment cap (NOK 3,278). Once the limit is reached, consultations are free for the remainder of the calendar year.
