Health Insurance for mental health issues

What’s included

This insurance is included in your membership with your trade union, and the care provided through the insurance focuses on giving you advice and tools to help you feel better.

Through this insurance, you can receive up to 6 free treatment sessions with a licensed psychologist or psychotherapist within Skandia's network if you are at risk of reduced work capacity or illness due to mental health issues. Each session typically lasts 30 minutes, conducted via chat or a secure video platform. You can use the insurance again if you’ve been treatment-free for 12 consecutive months since your last session.

Unsure if you’re struggling enough to need help?

As a first step, you’ll answer questions about how you're feeling, and a nurse at Sophiahemmet Rehab Center will assess your responses to determine if you would benefit from seeing a psychologist or psychotherapist. It's better to make that first contact and let a professional assess – it’s completely free.

How to use the insurance

For your first time using the insurance, follow these steps:

1. Contact Sophiahemmet Rehab Center via the link below. Log in with BankID, select "Sök Vård," and describe what you need help with. You’ll then answer a few questions about how you’re feeling.
2. After the questions, you'll have the option to book an appointment with a nurse at Sophiahemmet Rehab Center, who will assess your responses. This meeting takes place digitally via chat and lasts up to 10 minutes.
3. If you’re assessed as needing care, you’ll receive a booking voucher to schedule an appointment with a psychologist or psychotherapist.
4. Book your appointment with a psychologist or psychotherapist. At the start of the session, you may need to answer additional questions about your well-being. These are called assessment questions, allowing the psychologist or psychotherapist to make a clinical evaluation. Then, the conversation will start as a chat, with the option to switch to video.
5. If additional sessions are recommended, you'll receive a new booking voucher after the meeting, allowing you to schedule another session. You may have up to 6 sessions covered by the insurance.

If you need to reschedule, you should always book a new time. Canceling an appointment means you’ll need to repeat the entire process to receive a new booking voucher. You can get help in Swedish or English.
