Using Helsenorge on behalf of others

You can use a lasting power of attorney to access Helsenorge on behalf of the person to whom the power of attorney applies. To be valid for Helsenorge, the power of attorney must cover the areas “personal matters” and/or “health”. The lasting power of attorney must also be approved (certified) by the County Governor.

You can give others power of attorney to collect medicines and other prescription items for you at a pharmacy or medical supply outlet. This is not the same as a power of attorney to use Helsenorge on someone else’s behalf.

There are two ways to give others power of attorney to collect prescription items for you:

• You can create a power of attorney on Helsenorge for collecting prescription items. This service is currently being tested and for now the power of attorney can only be used at Apotek 1 and Farmasiet.
