Health Insurance
All residents in Denmark are entitled to free emergency treatment.
Students registered at the local Civil Registration Office in Denmark are automatically covered by Denmark's health insurance scheme which entitles you to free medical consultation from a general practitioner (GP), medical consultation from specialists on referral from a GP, subsidies for medicine and free hospitalization among other things. Note, however, that you are not covered until you have registered with the Civil Registration Office/Borgerservice and received your CPR number and health insurance card. It may take two weeks or more from the day you register until you receive your health insurance card.
You are therefore strongly advised to take out a temporary health insurance to cover any incidental medical bills in the period before the health card arrives.
EU and EEA students should bring the European Health Insurance Card from their local health insurance office. This card is proof that you are entitled to health insurance at home, and entitles you to free medical care in Denmark until you get your health insurance card.
Please note that the ordinary health insurance does not cover expenses connected to home transport in the case of for example severe illness. We would therefore advise you to consider taking out a private insurance. Some insurance companies extend their coverage to other countries, so contact your current insurance company in the first instance for further information.
Other insurance
You may also want to take out additional insurance to cover liability and personal belongings during your semester in Copenhagen. CBS cannot cover any losses which may occur.
