“Norwegian hospitals are free though. I was just surprised the first time I learned Norwegians pay at all to visit the doctor because I assumed we had the same system.”

    Ambulance rides cost a minimum of 1k USD. If you are not admitted to the hospital then it is not covered. If you are admitted then all costs ambulance and care normally has a 500$ copay and then you pay 20% or less depending on the insurance.

    A broken leg that requires immediate surgery is something to admit. Just a cast is urgent care only, so you probably are S.O.L.

    This is based on my experience with multiple insurances, there are tonnes of options, so I’m sure someone else would say it is different for them.
