Explanation:

Nils is right regarding the definition - in Swedish healthcare you pay more of your prescription costs at the beginning of your high cost period of one year than at the end, provided you have exceeded certain limits.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Tania McConaghy: "högkostnadsperiod" is really a shortening of "högkostnadsskyddsperiod" (or something) so it is not the period of high cost but rather of subsidised (low) cost
