Digital Healthcare Firms Kry and Doktor.se Accused of Systematic Overbilling by Stockholm Region

12-05-2025


In a significant development, the Left Party in Stockholm has escalated its dispute with digital healthcare providers Kry and Doktor.se by filing a police report alleging systematic fraud. This move comes after Region Stockholm demanded the repayment of a total of 60 million kronor from the companies, accusing them of double billing for digital healthcare services provided to Stockholm residents.

The controversy centers around the billing practices of Kry and Doktor.se, which are accused of charging extra for digital healthcare contacts with patients already listed under their care in Stockholm. This was allegedly done by exploiting the out-of-region fee system, where Region Stockholm pays an additional fee for healthcare services provided to its residents outside the region. The digital healthcare providers are said to have registered these services under a healthcare center in Sörmland, thereby receiving double payment.

Jonas Lindberg, the opposition regional councilor for the Left Party in Region Stockholm, stated that merely demanding the money back was insufficient, leading to the police report. He accused Kry of systematically deceiving Region Stockholm out of millions of kronor, a claim that Kry has denied, asserting that there has been no double registration of patients and highlighting ongoing discussions with Region Stockholm.

The allegations have sparked a broader debate about the regulation and oversight of digital healthcare services in Sweden, with the Left Party's actions underscoring the political and financial stakes involved. As the situation unfolds, the focus will be on the legal proceedings and the potential implications for digital healthcare providers operating within the region's healthcare system.
