Helsa’s examinations are tax-deductible

Helsa’s examinations are tax-deductible for the company and tax-free for the employee.(1).

Preventive treatment refers to measures aimed at enabling the employee to continue working. As an employer, you are required to take all necessary measures to prevent employees from being exposed to health risks or accidents (2). Unlike employee wellness benefits, which must be offered to the entire staff to qualify for tax exemption, an employer’s preventive measures and rehabilitation efforts can be targeted toward an individual employee or a specific group of employees.

How to prepare?

Helsa’s MRI examinations in Sweden are conducted by Evidia Sverige AB (Org. No. 556052-8746) at Sabbatsberg, Olivecronas väg 1, 113 61 Stockholm.

Before the Examination

You cannot undergo an MRI if you have metal fragments in any part of your body, a pacemaker, an insulin pump, or other implanted electronic devices. However, the examination can still be performed if you have non-magnetic metal implants, such as a hip or knee prosthesis or dental fillings.

There are also other types of metal objects, such as certain clips and stents, that may pose a problem. Therefore, it is crucial to inform us about this to determine whether you can proceed with the examination. Along with your appointment notice, you will receive a checklist and instructions on what to do if you answered YES to any of the questions.

During the Examination

A radiology nurse will explain how the examination works, and you will be asked to lie on a table that will be moved into the MRI machine.

During the scan, you will hear a loud knocking noise, so you will be offered headphones or earplugs. If you wish, you can listen to music. You will also be given an alarm button to hold, which you can press if you need to contact the nurse.

Once positioned, you will be slid into the tunnel where you must remain still while the MRI captures images. The body part being examined will be placed in the center of the tunnel.

A large number of images are taken over a period of 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being examined. The staff will be outside and can see you through a glass window.

After the Examination

You will receive the results from Helsa’s doctor, usually within 2-4 business days after the examination.

In some cases, the radiologist may recommend additional scans to ensure a precise diagnosis, which could delay the results slightly.
