Today we stop sending paper invoices for services and arrival fees at health clinics, the research department, the imaging department and the accident and surgery department. Bills come on My pages on Ísland.is and claims in a local bank.
This is part of reducing the use of paper and simplifying work processes.
Invoices will continue to be sent for accommodation fees, arrivals at the rehabilitation department and various other small things. Many of the recipients of these bills do not have electronic IDs. You can opt out of paper invoices by sending an email to bokhald@hvest.is.
In this context, it should be noted that the Vestfjörður Health Institute, like other government institutions, has stopped accepting paper invoices from suppliers. XML invoices should be sent instead, see below. This has proven to be very successful and reduces the work of everyone involved.

The institution's identification number is 650914-0740.
Like other government agencies, we only accept invoices in electronic (XML) format. Such a form saves both the sender and us a lot of time and increases the reliability of accounting. The financial administration has a good overview about how electronic invoices work. Can be sent single accounts through the so-called Drawer, but all accounting programs, some of which are free when few invoices are sent, offer the sending of XML invoices.
