The LHL Hospital at Gardermoen The LHL Hospital Gardermoen is a patient-friendly and pleasant hospital where patients and family members can easily find their way around and quickly settle in for their stay. Treatment is offered in a calm and warm environment that makes for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. All our services are defined by high professional standards and first-rate medical quality. We offer assessment, rehabilitation and follow-up for patients with many different needs. We want our patients to be satisfied and feel well looked after. Treatments offered We offer assessment and treatment of heart and lung diseases, as well as rehabilitation provision for heart, lung and cancer patients. In addition, we provide sleep assessment, assessments in the field of sports medicine and various surgical procedures. These include orthopaedic surgery, bariatric surgery, hernia procedures, varicose vein procedures and reconstructive plastic surgery. We also treat patients who have not received treatment within the governmental treatment deadlines and patients with private health insurance. Many of the services we provide are offered as outpatient services, but for some hospital admission is required. Several of the assessments and treatments we provide are also approved as an option under the choice-of-treatment centre scheme in the specialist health service. The hospital has ample windows in all rooms, affording plenty of light and a view of the surrounding nature. Combined with the high ceilings, this creates a sense of spaciousness and an inviting ambience. There is a coffee bar, a sitting room with a fireplace and recreational areas where you can take relaxing breaks during your time with us. The LHL Hospital is an allergy-friendly and non-smoking hospital. Smoking is only permitted in designated areas and the use of perfumed products is not permitted. Welcome to the LHL Hospital! 3

Patient travel Patient travel to and from national health service-approved treatment If you are travelling to or from treatment at a treatment centre approved by the Norwegian national health service, you may be entitled to be reimbursed travel expenses. As a rule, travel is reimbursed at a standard rate per kilometre regardless of the means of transport used. Travel involving distances over 10 kilometre one-way is reimbursed. For journeys over 300 kilometres, instead of the standard rate per kilometre, the cost of the cheapest means of public transport for the distance is covered. Further information To apply to have travel expenses reimbursed, log on to helsenorge.no. Here you will find information on the trips that can be registered online. It is possible to apply for reimbursement after you have had treatment, but you must apply within six months after you made the trip. More information can be found on pasientreiser.no.
