The local hospital treated me. I paid the bill and found out when I returned to Australia that we have reciprocal health care for urgency… and they refunded my money. Very unknown but as I have relatives in Norway its excellent to know we have an arrangement for urgent health issues.

He is in the hospital and they had to put two stents and pump in aorta. I think they will keep him in the hospital for about a week. He is Canadian citizen. The travel insurance he had was only for 45 days and he was outside the country for 55 days when this happened. So he does not have travel insurance. Does anyone know how much it will cost. If it’s a lot we won’t be able to pay. What would happen in that case???

I checked with all the insurance company so far and it seems none of them know that Medical system in Norway is using DRG (Diagnosis Related Group) which the invoice has only total amount (no detailed invoice). As a result, the travelling insurance will be useless if the traveller has any hospitalization needed. I also checked with some insurance company in Norway but they dont provide the travel insurance for a person who is not living in Norway.
Thanks,

Narada- I’m glad that is all you had to pay. You must have been worried it would be much more. I’m glad things worked out for you. Happy travels 🙂
