Fill out your health form

When you purchase personal insurance, you are required by law to provide health information on a health declaration form.

When purchasing personal insurance, you will be asked to complete the statutory health certificate. The certificate is a form that only takes 10-15 minutes to complete and contains questions about your health, lifestyle and occupation. The information you provide in the form is used to calculate the best price and terms and conditions for you.

You fill out a health form at Fremtind Forsikring, our insurance company.

You are insured while your information is being processed

You are temporarily insured while your health information is processed once you have completed, signed, and submitted your health certificate. This means that you are covered for unforeseen events that are unrelated to your health at the time you sign the agreement.

Questions and answers about the health certificate

What should I do if I'm unsure what to fill out on the form?

If you are unsure whether or not you need to enter an illness, injury or condition you have or have had, we recommend you do enter it. Then, the information is assessed on whether it is relevant or not.

If you have not been checked or treated for the disease in the last ten years, you do not need to provide health information that is more than ten years old.

What happens if I do not answer the form correctly and accurately?

It is easier to give you the right price and terms if you answer the questions in the form correctly and completely. If you answer incorrectly or leave something out, you may be unable to obtain insurance. It is also possible that you will not receive compensation even if you have insurance.

Insurance is trust. We believe what you tell us is true, both when you purchase and use the insurance. And on the day you need us, you should have confidence that you will receive the assistance you require.

I do not know my family's medical history. Can I still get insurance?

If you are adopted and do not know your family's medical history, you can answer "no" to the questions about your family's medical history. You will be asked at the end of the form if you have any additional information to provide. Here you can point to questions that you did not answer well enough, and provide additional information.

Can I get insurance if I have or have had a medical condition?

Even if you have or have had an illness, you can still purchase insurance. The most important thing is that you fill out the health form and tell us about your illness so that we can determine what it means for your insurance. You may have to pay more for, or you may not be covered for this illness. Sometimes you may not be offered insurance.

What if I am diagnosed with additional conditions or my insurance is denied?

Why don't you just ask my GP?

You know your health best. The GP does not always have all your health information. You may have had illnesses or ailments for which you did not see a doctor but which are relevant to the health assessment. You may also have received treatment elsewhere that your GP is unaware of.

Why do you need my permission to collect information from others?

More information from a doctor or other practitioner is sometimes required. The reason could be that more information about one or more illnesses or injuries is required, or that it is preferable for the GP to provide an opinion because a large insurance amount has been requested. By law, such information cannot be obtained without your permission.

How long must a child have lived in Norway to be eligible for children's insurance?

If your child has lived in a country outside of Western Europe, the child must have undergone the Norwegian Paediatric Association's recommended examinations. If this is not done, you will not be able to obtain children's insurance until the child has lived in Norway for a year.

My child is adopted. What should I do if I am missing information about the birth?
