FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

The patient fee is always SEK 100 for a video session. The fee contributes towards your “Frikort” allowance (cost exemption card). All regions in Sweden have a high-cost protection system which means that there is a limit to how much you have to pay for health care during a period of one year before you get cost exemption. Once your patient fees add up to the limit set by your region you get a “Frikort” (cost exemption card).

If you have a “Frikort”, the session is free of charge. Simply enter your “Frikort” number when you book the session.

If you are covered by the Swedish social insurance you are entitled to subsidised health care in Sweden. Then you can use Mindler wherever you are, as long as you have access to an internet connection that supports video and audio.

If you are unsure about whether you are covered by the Swedish social insurance system you can contact “Försäkringskassan” (the Swedish Social Insurance Agency) to find out.

All counties in Sweden have a high-cost protection system which means that all patient fees that you pay during a one year period adds up to a  cost exemption card (Frikort). In every region there is a limit to how much you pay for health care and once you have reached that limit you get cost exemption.

• Yes, cost exemption cards can be used instead of payment at Mindler, the session is free of charge if you have a cost exemption card.
• At the moment Mindler is not able to register your fees automatically to your high-cost protection. You need to register Mindler fees to the high-cost protection by yourself to make them count towards getting cost exemption. You can do this at the register/reception of any clinic that is connected to the high-cost protection system in your region.
• Enter the number of your cost exemption card and the period for which the card is valid in the app when you book a session.
• If you have an electronic cost exemption card, you’ll find the number of your cost exemption card at www.1177.se. Not all county councils and regions are yet connected to the e-service for electronic cost exemption cards. You can also find information on whether your county council is connected at www.1177.se.

A common question we get is whether you can see the same psychologist during the entire treatment. The answer is yes.

In fact, to get continuity in treatment, it is important that you do not jump around between different psychologists. If for some reason it would not work between you and your psychologist, you can change once.

Information about your visits to Mindler is displayed on 1177/My care contacts. The journal entry itself is not displayed there, only the visit date and diagnosis. You can read your journal entries via My journal.

The visits are registered by our partners Kungsholmens Husläkarmottagning and Beckomberga Vårdcentral in the Stockholm Region.
