Avgiften anpassas till patientens lön

Outpatient high-cost protection adds up eligible fees; it is not a personal income scale.

Varje vårdbesök kostar lika mycket

The protection concerns accumulated fees; it does not make every visit cost the same.

Arbetsgivaren betalar avgifter över gränsen

The protection is part of healthcare’s fee system, not a requirement for employers to pay.
