Insurance conditions
Together with your statement of cover, we sent you the insurance conditions applying to you by ordinary mail or in your e-Boks. You received the insurance conditions either when you established your pension scheme, or if your pension scheme was subsequently changed.

New insurance conditions as from 1 January 2022
We changed the insurance conditions at 1 January 2022. When the changes come into effect for you, you can see the insurance conditions applying to you in Netpension. You can see when that is in our letter sent to you in November 2021.

If you established your pension scheme after 17 November 2005, you can always see the insurance conditions applying to you in your pension overview in Netpension.

To ensure greater transparency, you must be able to compare Danica's non-life insurance products with those of other companies. This is pursuant to an EU directive which came into force on 1 October 2018. We must inform you of this right before you enter into an agreement with us, and you can find answers as to what, where and how the insurance covers here.
