How to Access Care with Us
If you or your referring physician would like to arrange for planned (non-urgent) highly specialized care at Uppsala University Hospital, and you are residing in another country, please contact Uppsala Care. To ensure a smooth and efficient process, we kindly ask that you follow the steps outlined below:
1. Contact Uppsala Care
You can reach us with your inquiry or referral via email, and we will confirm receipt within two business days.
After your initial contact, we will provide you with instructions and assess whether we can offer care at Uppsala University Hospital. Once this assessment is complete, we will forward your request to the relevant department. Typically, the department will provide a response within one to two weeks.
Regardless of the outcome, we will always follow up with you.
2. Follow-Up
If Uppsala University Hospital can provide care, we will share a preliminary treatment plan and an estimated cost for the services.
3. Booking Your Care
Once you accept our offer, we will proceed with scheduling your appointment. If you are self-paying, an advance invoice will be issued. For cases where another entity covers the costs, the required payment guarantees must be arranged before treatment begins. We can assist with any necessary documentation.
Healthcare in Sweden
Equality is a cornerstone of Swedish healthcare. In Sweden’s public healthcare system, it is not possible to pay to skip the queue or arrange private treatments for special privileges. All patients enjoy equal rights and access to the same high-quality care. These democratic principles are a source of great pride for us.
Payment for Your Care
If You Are Self-Paying
(This includes patients whose care is covered by an insurance provider.)
You will receive an advance invoice with the estimated cost of your care.
Payment must be made in Swedish currency (SEK) and free from any bank fees at least 10–30 days before your examination or treatment date.
After your care is completed, a final summary of costs will be issued.
If the total cost is lower than the advance payment, the surplus will be refunded.
If the total cost is higher than the advance payment, an additional invoice will be sent.
If You Have an S2/E112 Form or Payment Guarantee from Your Healthcare Provider
A valid S2/E112 form must be submitted to Uppsala Care no later than 10 days prior to your examination or treatment date.
The invoice will be sent to the designated payer once the treatment is completed.
