Canada to Denmark

About insurance, my girlfriend is Canadian and her permanent residence is Canada. She should speak to her health insurance company in Canada and establish what cover is available for her when travelling overseas. Canadians will not, as far as I am aware, be entitled to free healthcare in Denmark. Every visiting tourist gets free health care in Denmark, as long as they didn't go there for that purpose. How do you prove this? From the Visit Denamrk website: Illness and accidents are never welcome visitors on a holiday, but they do happen! In Denmark help is always at hand and you don't have to pay for medical treatment in a hospital if matters should take a turn to the worse. See below what to do, if you are unfortunate. Emergency medical care is supplied by municipal authorities, and hotel staff members can direct guests to local emergency centres, hospitals, or dental clinics. Emergency treatment at Danish public hospitals is free. Fees for non-emergency medical services are usually payable in cash, and are reasonable by international standards. If you take prescribed medication, you should bring a supply large enough to last throughout the trip since some medicines available in your home country may not be on the market in Denmark. Please note that the supply must not exceed a quantity of 14 days' use if you are travelling from a non-Schengen country, and 30 days if you are travelling from a Schengen country. Documentation of necessity of the remedy may be required upon entry. For more information, contact Danish diplomatic representatives. In denmark, you are not required to pay for emergency medical services provided by public hospitals. This is significantly different from your statement: "Every visiting tourist gets free health care in Denmark, as long as they didn't go there for that purpose." In most cases you will be required to produce an E111 to get free care other than immediate emergency care. In most cases, if the emergency is due to a pre-existing condition, you will be asked to pay for ALL care. So, break your leg and you'll get a free cast. Have a heart attack and you pay for your bypass yourself. js I find it strange that they would view a heart attack as a non emergency or pre existing condition. I would sympathize if you were talking of a person with a bad heart who traveled and then asked for treatment but a heart attack??? FFM |
