Waiting for help with endometriosis?

Many people wait a long time for an assessment or a place at an endometriosis centre, and many feel they are not taken seriously. We help you find out where your case stands and take the next step.

Perhaps this sounds familiar

You have been referred, but have heard nothing for months. Or you have received a letter about your right to healthcare with a deadline, without anyone explaining what it means. Perhaps the deadline has already passed, and nobody has told you.

Many people with endometriosis have been in pain for a long time before getting answers, and have told their story to many doctors. Having to follow everything up yourself is exhausting. That is what we can help with.

What we can help you with

The referral and the deadline

We go through the letters you have received and explain whether you have been granted the right to healthcare and what the deadline means for you. If you are unsure where your referral is, we find out who has it and who should take the next step.

A shorter wait

You can choose where you are treated, including another hospital in Norway. We look at waiting times with you and help you switch if that is a faster route.

When nothing happens

We help you write a reminder or a complaint. If the hospital cannot help you within the deadline, Helfo must be notified and find another place for treatment. We then help you follow it up.

Before your appointment and with NAV

We put together a short overview of your history, with symptoms, treatments you have tried and questions you want answered, so you get more out of the appointment. We can also help you keep track of sick leave and what you need to send to NAV.

What you can expect

We do not promise to solve everything, and sometimes there is no faster route. But you will know where your case stands, which options you have and which ones do not suit you. We are not healthcare professionals: doctors assess and treat you, and we help you move forward in the system. The help is free while we start up.
