Student Health Insurance in Denmark

Denmark’s tax-funded healthcare system provides free, high-quality care to all residents — including international students. Once you have your CPR number and yellow health card, you’re fully covered.

How Danish Healthcare Works

Step 1: Get Your CPR Number
After arriving in Denmark, register your address at the Citizen Service Center (Borgerservice). You’ll receive your CPR number (Civil Registration Number) — your Danish ID for everything from healthcare to banking.

Step 2: Receive Your Yellow Health Card
With your residence permit and CPR number, you’ll automatically receive a yellow health card (sundhedskort) by mail. This card grants you free access to:

• GP consultations (læge)
• Hospital treatment
• Emergency care
• Specialist referrals
• Maternity services

Step 3: Choose Your GP
Register with a General Practitioner (læge) near your accommodation. Your GP is your first point of contact for all medical needs.

EU Students with EHIC

EU/EEA students can use their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to access Danish healthcare. However, most students register for a CPR number anyway, as it makes daily life much easier.

Optional Private Insurance

While public healthcare is excellent, some students get private insurance (€20–40/month) for:

• Faster access to specialists
• Dental and optical care (not covered publicly)
• Physiotherapy and alternative medicine
• Private consultations
