Key conditions
Assistance call deadline
The policy requires you to notify If as soon as possible after any covered claim occurs, via if.dk/anmeldskade or by phone; no specific number-of-hours deadline is stated, but emergency assistance is available 24/7.
Unauthorized treatment
If you refuse to be transported home once If's doctor has decided this is necessary and the treating doctor has approved it, or you continue treatment abroad after If's doctor has decided treatment can wait until you return to Denmark (with the treating doctor's approval), further treatment and stay costs are not covered.
Purchase while abroad
It is a requirement that the travel insurance is purchased before you depart on the trip and that you can document the number of travel days; the policy does not cover trips already underway when purchased.
Chronic conditions
Chronic conditions are only covered for an acute worsening if the condition has been stable for 2 months prior to departure without hospital contact, treatment changes, referrals or missed treatment; a binding medical pre-assessment can be requested before travelling.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy/childbirth treatment due to acute illness or injury is covered; non-acute pregnancy/childbirth care is covered up to 1 month before the due date, and a premature baby is covered if born more than 1 month early. Trip cancellation due to pregnancy complications is covered under Rejse Plus/Rejse Super if a doctor advises against travelling.
Pre-existing condition exclusions
Treatment of a condition you knew about before departing from Denmark is not covered; you risk paying the full cost yourself if you travel without a medical pre-assessment of an existing, treatment-requiring illness or injury.
Coverage duration limit
Rejse and Rejse Plus cover trips up to 30 days; Rejse Super covers trips up to 60 days. If a covered illness or injury delays your return beyond this period, cover is automatically extended until you are back in Denmark.
Direct payment
If's travel insurance provides international assistance and claims service directly at the destination; a limited advance payment can be made during the trip depending on immediate need, but final settlement of the claim only takes place after you return home.
Territorial scope
Europe coverage includes EU/EEA countries plus Andorra, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Isle of Man, Monaco, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Vatican City; Worldwide coverage applies globally. Domestic trips in Denmark are covered but exclude sickness/injury treatment, sick transport/repatriation, malpractice, rental vehicle deductible and baggage cover
