Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent — Norway: What it costs and how long people wait

Official figures and published prices. Each figure retains its source, date and scope. Public tariffs are health-system payments, not private quotes; recorded waits do not promise a current appointment.

The answer from the data

Your options

Care Path for Norway. Explore public care and possible funding before comparing private providers. Your clinician and payer decide suitability and eligibility.

Information, not medical or legal advice.

Your public health system

Start with your usual doctor or public insurer to discuss a referral for this treatment.

Who can use it: Check eligibility and treatment coverage with your public insurer; residence alone does not establish entitlement.

Cost to you: varies — Confirm a written patient price or funding decision.

Reported public wait:

Historical data (2023) — not current wait64.6 days — average waiting time, patients who were treated. Broader procedure group; not isolated to this exact procedure. status=D: definition differs. Measured from GP referral, not from the specialist decision

What this figure covers

Scope: Norway. Population: patients who were treated. Reported statistic: average waiting time. Shown as reported by the source.

n=1 eligible observations. n is not a patient count. Episode equivalence: unverified.

Historical official OECD statistical republication; newest available year separately for each country/procedure/statistic/population, not a current appointment estimate. Completed elective treatment: specialist assessment/list entry to admission, subject to national deviations. Procedure-group proxy: hip includes partial and revision replacements, knee includes revisions, cataract has no verified one-eye restriction, and PTCA does not establish stent use. Norwegian Patient Register. Wait starts when GP referral is received, earlier than specialist assessment; therefore OECD flags a definition difference. Latest available series here is 2023. Published definition differs from standard.
