In the exam (Norwegian)

Hva er en egenandel når du får helsehjelp?

  1. aThe part of the price that the patient pays themselvesDen delen av prisen som pasienten betaler selvCorrect answer
  2. bA fee you pay if you are ill for more than one weekEt gebyr du betaler hvis du er syk mer enn én uke
  3. cMoney that the doctor pays to the municipality every yearPenger som legen betaler til kommunen hvert år

Why?

When you go to the doctor or receive other health care, you often pay part of the price yourself. That is the co-payment, and the public sector pays the rest.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Norwegian, as shown above.
