Feelgood has quality-assured partners. The following healthcare providers are responsible for your care:

• Feelgood - physiotherapists, health coaches and personal trainers

Does it cost anything to use the service?
A patient fee of SEK 100 is charged for online care meetings; doctors, psychologists and physiotherapists, and prescription renewals (except for contraceptives).  

All 21 regions (counties) in Sweden have a patient fee, even though it may differ between the regions. 

The fee is charged in connection with visits by creditcard. High-cost protection and exemption cards will apply.

The patient fee applies from the calendar year you turn 20 years old. Online medical consultations for your child and young adults up to the age of 17 are still free of charge. If you are a parent of a young adult 18-19 years of age, you can register him/her as next of kin in the app, as your own login is required when you are of legal age. Thus if you are 18 or 19 years old and either are employed by an employer who offers Feelgood Plus or if you are registered as next of kin, all visits are free of charge.

Online meetings with a health coach and a personal trainer are free of charge for all users.

What is high-cost protection?
The high-cost protection for health care usually means that you do not have to pay more than SEK 1,150 in patient fees within a period of twelve months. However, the amount limit for exemption cards can vary in different county councils.

What is an exemption card?
If your county council is connected to the e-exemption card service, you will find your exemption card information at 1177. There you can also see if you have reached the limit for obtaining an exemption card.

1. Go to www.1177.se and log in.
2. Select All other services under the Other services heading.
3. Click on High-cost protection for outpatient care under the heading High-cost protection.

Not all county councils are connected to the e-service with electronic exemption cards at 1177. To get your information, you then need to contact your regular healthcare centre and ask for the exemption card information. If you have a physical exemption card, the information is on this.

Can I seek care for someone else?
You can only seek care for yourself and for your own child under 18 years of age. You cannot seek care for other adults as the person must always log in with their own BankID. Unfortunately, we are not able to help you with prescription renewal with a power of attorney.
