Hello all,

my situation is this: I need to see a ENT doctor, it's not urgent, but my throat has been kinda burning/itching for the past few weeks, it doesn't go neither better nor worse, and I want to have it checked.

This is my first time in Norway, I've arrived this month. I come from Poland (EEU/Schengen). I am employed in Norway for a period lesser than 6 months, my employer rents a house for me, so I think technically I don't live in Norway. I only have a d-nummer. I have the European Health Insurance Card. I'm aware that I'm not entitled to have a fastlege at this point.

Taking into account these conditions, the only possibilities are legevakt or a private clinic (the latter I'd like to avoid)? If I go to legevakt, can they provide a service that a ENT would? Or it's just a service that a regular GP would do (which I think is not enough in my case)? Can they redirect me to an ENT? If so, how much am I going to pay?

Or maybe can I just search for an ENT in this site: https://www.legelisten.no/ and call them and they may accept me based on my EHIS?

I'm not sure what my rights are, given my situaton, and I'm a bit lost.

Any help would be hugely appreciated! <3

  1. Do you have a fastlege? You have to be referred from your general practitioner (or use Dr Online, or similar) to go to a specialist

  2. There are some general practitioners you can go to if you don’t have fastlege in every kommune. You need to go to a general practitioners (fastlege) before you can go to a specialist.
