Remember to check your personal insurance policies before leaving your native country. It is very important that you have a Health Insurance as well as a Liability Insurance:
A. Health insurance
Stays longer than 3 months (residence permit required)
a. Nordic citizens Citizens from Nordic countries are entitled to the same medical treatment as Danish nationals.
b. EU citizens If you are an EU national, you must register at the local National Registry Office (for addresses, see below) immediately after your arrival in Denmark. If you bring a completed E-104 (E-111) form with you from your native country, you are automatically covered by the Danish National Health Service, with access to free medical treatment by general practitioners (PG’s) and in hospitals (the costs of potential transport home are not covered). If you do not have such a form, you are not covered during the first six weeks of your stay in Denmark.
The yellow card issued by the municipality together with one's cpr no. also acts as a wealth insurance, covering fre medical treatment by PGs and specialty treatment on the condition that it is recommended by th GT. The yellow card does NOT cover dentist treatment.
c. All other nationalities Citizens from all other countries are not covered and are strongly advised to take out an insurance that covers medical treatment and repatriation.
When you register at a National Registry Office you will be asked to choose a general practitioner (GP). It may be a good idea to ask a Danish friend or colleague to recommend one. Your Central Persons Register number (Cpr number - see below) is also your health insurance number. A yellow National Health Service medical card will be sent to your address in Denmark within three weeks. Remember to bring the card if you go to your GP. The name, address and telephone number of your GP will be printed on the card.
After your studies at Lyngby Business Academy are finished, before you leave Denmark, you must return this medical card to your local national Registry Office.
B. Liability insurance As a supplement to your health insurance, you need a liability insurance to cover personal injury, legal aid and damage to property.
