Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

SOS International's Alarm Centre (+45 38 48 91 81 / +45 70 10 50 50) must be contacted immediately/as soon as possible for acute assistance needs, and it must be contacted immediately before any search-and-rescue action is arranged, as prior approval of the parties conducting rescue is required or the right to compensation lapses.

Unauthorized treatment

Failure to promptly report theft, robbery, assault or vandalism to the local police can affect the compensation. Full cover for private-hospital treatment requires prior approval from Alm. Brand/SOS. If the insured refuses recommended repatriation once the treating doctor and Alm. Brand/SOS have agreed on it, or does not follow instructions from the treating doctor or Alm. Brand/SOS, resulting extra costs are not covered.

Purchase while abroad

The policy is intended for insured persons with a fixed residence in Denmark, and cover only takes effect from the moment the insured leaves home in Denmark to begin the trip; the policy cannot be taken out after the trip has already started.

Chronic conditions

Chronic conditions are only covered if the condition can be characterized as stable, meaning no hospitalization, non-control treatment, or change in treatment/medication in the 2 months before departure; a medical pre-assessment determines the level of cover.

Pregnancy

The policy does not contain a specific provision on pregnancy or pregnancy-related complications.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Pre-existing conditions present before departure are excluded from cover unless deemed stable via a medical pre-assessment (available from 2 months before travel), which determines whether cover is full, partial, or none for that condition on the trip.

Coverage duration limit

Under a continuous annual policy, trips are covered for up to 60 days; if a trip exceeds 60 days, only the first 60 days are covered. If a covered claim occurs, cover is automatically extended beyond 60 days until repatriation/return can occur based on a medical assessment.

Direct payment

SOS International provides 24/7 emergency assistance and, for acute serious illness, serious injury or hospitalization requiring more than ambulant treatment, arranges direct payment/cashless settlement with treatment providers where possible.

Territorial scope

Coverage applies to trips outside Denmark; insured must have fixed residence in Denmark
