The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKL) has recommended a minimum patient fee of SEK 100 (USD 12) for digital doctor visits. Individual counties can decide to charge prices above this level. Last year, SKL halved provider reimbursement of digital consultations from SEK 1,250 to SEK 650. The decision was made in response to dramatic increases in the number of digital visits and because the majority were for low-acuity concerns. In a press release, SKL maintained that the new, lower reimbursement will disincentivize unnecessary visits, but will still support the growth of digital services.
