Registering your health insurance status

When moving to Denmark, you must inform Udbetaling Danmark about your health insurance situation.

Udbetaling Danmark needs to know if you will be covered by your former health insurance country when you use the Danish healthcare system during your stay in Denmark.

Who is required to provide information?

You must provide information about the country in which you are insured for healthcare if you are
over 18 years of age, and you:

• are a Danish citizen or
• are a citizen of an EU/EEA country* or Switzerland or
• have lived in an EU/EEA country* or Switzerland immediately before coming to Denmark

Please submit this information immediately upon completing your registration with the Danish civil registration system. Only then are you entitled to use the Danish health service.
