Reimbursement for healthcare and medicine

Uppsala University reimburses part of costs for medical treatment by doctors or physiotherapists, hospital stays and medicine.

Reimbursement for medical care and medicine is a taxable benefit. The tax will be deducted from your reimbursement.

Accounting for health care expenses

Register your healthcare expenses in Primula web (under 11. Wellness subsidy & healthcare allowance), attach scanned receipts in the case. Receipts must not be older than two years. Provided that all the supporting documents have been received by the Payroll Unit before the 5th of the month, your expenses will be reimbursed with the current month's salary.

Accounting for medicine reimbursements

Register the reimbursement for medicine in Primula web (under 11.

How to do this:

• Visit the eHealth Agency's website and request a register extract from the high-cost database.
• Self-report the reimbursement in Primula web and attach the extract to the case.

Please note that you can only request reimbursement on one occasion per year and that the case with the attached register extract must have been received by the Payroll Unit in Primula web no later than 31 January after the calendar year during which the costs were incurred.
