Children's Health Insurance
With a Danica Children's Health Insurance, you can also provide your children with good treatment options. The children’s health insurance gives your children access to treatment at private hospitals and with chiropractors, physiotherapists, and psychologists if they fall ill. The insurance covers your biological children/adopted children regardless of their residence, as well as stepchildren who live at the same address as you.
If a doctor has determined that your child needs an examination or treatment, you can file a claim.

Facts about Children's Health Insurance

The insurance covers the children from the age of 0 to 24, and it covers the following children:
- Your biological and adopted children aged 0 to 24, regardless of residence.
- The biological and adopted children aged 0 to 24 of your spouse. The child or children must be registered at your address at the time when the illness or their condition following an accident is diagnosed.
- The biological and adopted children aged 0 to 24 of your cohabitant. The child or children must be registered at your address at the time when the illness or their condition following an accident is diagnosed.
