    Together with your statement of cover, we sent you the insurance conditions applying to you by ordinary mail or in your e-Boks. You received the insurance conditions either when you established your pension scheme, or if your pension scheme was subsequently changed.

    If you established your pension scheme after 17 November 2005, you can always see the insurance conditions applying to you in your pension overview in Netpension.

    Information on insurance product

  • Yes, you generally have a free choice of treatment provider, including AS3 Work&Care and FysioDanmark. If you are to be treated at a private hospital, you can see the private hospitals in our network here.

  • Treatment via network:

    If you receive treatment via AS3 Work&Care or FysioDanmark, they will settle their expenses directly with us.

    Treatment by provider chosen by you:

    If you have chosen a provider outside our network yourself, the expenses will be settled via Sygeforsikringen “danmark” – also if you are not a member. In some cases, you will have to lay out the expense yourself. This depends on your chosen treatment provider.

    1. Ask your provider to notify “danmark” of your treatment

    •  If you have chosen a provider from the list at www.sygeforsikring.dk/find-behandler (in Danish only), you do not need to take further action
    • If you have chosen another provider, you will have to lay out the expense yourself. If your provider is not able to notify “danmark” of your treatment, you must also send the bill to Sygeforsikringen “danmark”. You can upload the bill electronically under ‘Beskeder’ by logging on with NemID at www.sygeforsikring.dk. Alternatively, you can send the bill to Sygeforsikringen “danmark”, Palægade 5, DK-1261 Copenhagen K

    2. If you have paid for the treatment yourself, “danmark” will reimburse the amount to your Nemkonto account or your designated account. "

  • If you are treated or examined by a specialist or at a private hospital, the treatment facility will have to send the bill to us directly. Our healthcare team must approve treatment by a specialist or at a private hospital in advance. If you have paid for the treatment yourself, you can upload your bill here. It is important that you also submit a copy of your medical file from the examination.

  • Sundhedspartneren is a booking and communication platform for insurance providers and private hospitals and clinics.

    The platform allows you, the customer, to book an appointment yourself, or Danica Pension can book an appointment for you. In certain specialist fields, appointments must be booked by the medical secretary – in which case we will ask the private hospital to call you.

    What happens when I receive a link by email and/or text message?

    If you are to book an appointment yourself, you will in many cases have to sign a consent form before you are presented with a list of private hospitals and their available appointments.

    Your consent is necessary for us to exchange information with the private hospital or the clinic.

    If Danica Pension has booked an appointment on your behalf, you will in many cases have to sign a consent form. Please note that the consent form must be signed not later than 48 hours before the booked examination date. If the consent form is not signed before this deadline, you risk losing your booked appointment.

    If you have arranged with Danica Pension that the private hospital is to contact you, this will not be possible until you have signed the consent form, as your contact details will not be available to the private hospital until you have done so. The private hospital will then call you within 24 hours. You can also call the private hospital once you have signed the consent form. Remember to state your claim number, which you find in the email/text message.

    What happens next?

    If you need other examinations or treatment than those pre-approved by Danica Pension in connection with the filing of your claim, we will automatically receive a request from the private hospital via Sundhedspartneren.

  • As for treatment by a physiotherapist, a chiropractor or a psychologist, it is not necessary to report a new claim if you have chosen treatment by a provider within our network.

    If you have chosen a provider outside our network, you will need a new approval to continue your treatment.
