Why should businesses have health insurance?

  • Reduce absence

    Employees have quick access to treatment in specialized healthcare services. Our guarantee is consultation with a specialist doctor within 7 working days. Then treatment or surgery within 10 working days. This enables employees to return to work faster in case of illness or injury

  • Reduced costs associated with illness

    Both the company and employees benefit from reduced absence. When employees receive treatment quickly for illness or injury, the costs of absence are reduced.

  • Become an attractive employer

    Health insurance can be an important employee benefit that motivates and contributes to employee retention within the company.

Take care of the company's most important resource

Take care of the people who keep the company running

A health insurance plan for you and your employees is a wise investment that contributes to reduced absenteeism. If someone in the company falls ill, unexpected costs can arise, and you may risk losing income. With our health insurance, you take good care of your most important resource, your employees.

With health insurance (also known as treatment insurance), you and your employees receive prompt assistance if you need surgery or treatment from a specialist.

One day of absence costs as much as health insurance for one year

It becomes expensive when an employee, or you as the owner of the company, falls ill and cannot work. During the initial period, you pay sick pay, while someone else must perform the work. Social costs must be paid, and as an employee, you still have the right to vacation pay.

In addition, there are indirect costs, known as overhead costs, which continue to accrue even when an employee is at home. These may include fixed costs and costs associated with reduced productivity.

One day of absence costs approximately as much as health insurance for one year. The insurance provides, among other things, faster access to treatment, and thereby a shorter path back to work.

  • Digital self-help tool
    Through the Overvinne app, you receive self-help assistance. This can be beneficial even before the need for a psychologist arises.

    Digital self-help tool

    With Overvinne, taking the first step can be easier. The app can be used when you have time, in an environment of your choice. You go through a treatment program at your own pace, and the advice you receive adapts to your emotional needs. 

    The Overvinne app is developed by psychologists and provides self-help assistance through videos, exercises, audio files, mood reports, and articles. You can use the app on your own or with a psychologist, whenever and wherever it suits you. The services in the app can be used for free and as much as you like, without a doctor's referral. The program is equivalent to a treatment course of 14 psychologist sessions.

    You can use the digital tool without a referral, but if you need to speak with a psychologist, either in-person or through a video call, you must first have a referral from a doctor and report a claim. Remember that all treatment have to be pre-approved to be covered by the health insurance.

    Please note that the digital self-help tool is only available in Norwegian.

  • Assesment and treatment
    If you have seen your general practitioner and have been referred for further evaluation, your health insurance can assist you if the public waiting time is long. We collaborate with numerous private clinics with expertise in the assessment and treatment of various medical conditions.

    Good and prompt treatment

    If you have issues that require specialized expertise, you will typically be referred to the specialist healthcare service for assessment and treatment. This usually takes place at the public hospital level, where there are often long waiting times. The purpose of health insurance is to ensure swift access to specialist expertise.

    If you have been referred to the specialist healthcare service, and the public waiting time exceeds the guarantee period in the insurance agreement, you can register a case with us. This applies both if you are referred for medical imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, and to a medical specialist, such as a pulmonologist, orthopedist, or neurologist.
