Medical preliminary evaluation - take the test now

IDA Travel Insurance only covers acute illness and injuries that occur while you are on holiday

If you have a chronic condition, are pregnant, or have been ill recently, make sure your Travel Insurance provides coverage.

Remember to take a health test before you book a trip

Tryg, in cooperation with Falck, has made a health test that tells you if your health is good enough to be covered by your travel insurance or if you need a medical assessment.

If we need more information about your health, the test will ask you to contact Falck Global Assistance. They will perform a preliminary medical assessment and determine whether the insurance policy will cover you.

When is it necessary to take the health test?

Generally speaking, you should take a health test and get an assessment in the following situations:

• You have a life-threatening illness.
• Have a chronic illness that has not been stable for the last two months or before you bought the trip.
• Have a chronic or existing illness and have received new or emergency treatment within two months of departure.
• Have been treated for an injury - for example, if you have an arm bone fracture that is not yet fully mobile.
• A referral for further assessment or operation.
• You are pregnant with complications and have been to the doctor, hospitalised, or changed medication in the last two months. In addition, if you are going for a check-up with a midwife or at the hospital.

When is it not necessary to take the health test?

You don't need to take the test if:

• You are temporarily sick - for example, with the flu, catch a cold, or get sinusitis. It is essential that you no longer have symptoms of infection.
• You have had regular medical check-ups for your chronic illness and no changes in your treatment.
• It is no longer necessary to take the test just because you are over 80 years old.
