Medicines will become more expensive for many next year. The reason is that the amount before the high-cost protection kicks in is being increased.

The costs for pharmaceutical benefits are increasing sharply. In the budget, the increase is estimated to be 6.1 billion kronor next year.

The parties are therefore in agreement to apply the brakes and want to save half a billion kronor.

Today, the high-cost protection kicks in, with a discounted price, after having spent 1,425 kronor on prescription medications. After 2,850 kronor per year, the high-cost protection covers the entire cost.

The first discount limit could be raised to around 2,000 kronor, but the exact details on how much and which amount limits will be raised are not clear yet. It is clear that the changes will come into effect on July 1 next year.
