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. Take the health test at Falck Global Assistance
