2 Insurance cover

2.1 Personal injury cover

In the event of personal injury due to accident or illness through infection suffered by the insured during the insurance period, compensation for personal injury is paid according to chapter 5 sections 1, 2 and 5 of the Tort Liability Act (1972:207) as if liability to pay damages had existed. For issues relating to compensation for loss of earnings, the rules on calculation of the annuity base in chapter 41 sections 8 to 18 of the Social Insurance Code (2010:110) apply.

Compensation for personal injury pursuant to chapter 5 sections 1 and 2 of the Tort Liability Act includes, among other things, health care costs, loss of income, pain and suffering and disfigurement or other permanent injury. Compensation pursuant to section 2 of the above mentioned Act also covers funeral costs, loss of maintenance and personal injury for the next of kin of the deceased.

In questions of compensation for loss of earnings, the rules on calculation of the annuity base in chapter 41 sections 8 to 18 of the Social Insurance Code (2010:110) apply. These rules relating to loss of earnings do not apply to sick leave that is shorter than 31 days.

Compensation is paid for personal injury in connection with assault to the extent that the insured does not, within a reasonable time in consideration of the nature of the injury and the need for compensation, receive damages from the perpetrator, the perpetrator’s insurance company or another, although no later than three years after Kammarkollegiet has been notified.

If the personal injury due to accident or illness through infection leads to death within three years of the event, one base amount is paid to the estate, in addition to any amount that has already been paid. If the deceased has children who have not reached 18 years of age at the time of death - in addition to compensation for loss of maintenance according to the first paragraph - compensation is paid of three base amounts to each such child and three base amounts to the other parent of such children as beneficiary of the accident insurance, provided that the other parent is, or in connection with the death becomes, a legal guardian.

Necessary and reasonable expenses are compensated in the event of damage to teeth caused by an accident. For implant treatment and dental veneers, compensation is only paid on condition that the treatment is of such a kind as is covered by the general dental insurance. Before treatment is given, the insured or the dentist giving treatment must contact Kammarkollegiet for an assessment of whether the treatment is reasonable. The insurance only provides compensation for one (1) permanent treatment. Compensation is not paid for damage caused by chewing or biting, as this is not considered to be an accident under this clause.

2.1.1 Instructions

In the event of serious illness, admission to hospital or a need for repatriation or other active assistance in the country of study, contact must be made with:

Falck Global Assistance

Tel: +46 85 87 71 749

Fax: +46 85 87 71 762

Email: fga@se.falck.com

Falck Global Assistance can be contacted 24 hours a day.

Assault must be immediately reported to the local police. The insured shall produce evidence that a police report has been made. If Kammarkollegiet so requires, the insured must bring a legal action for damages against the perpetrator.. Kammarkollegiet will then cover all the insured’s costs that are not otherwise covered.

The insured shall observe normal caution, i.e. if possible avoid dangerous areas and situations and otherwise do what may reasonably be expected in order to avoid being the victim of assault or other injury. In the event of negligence, compensation is normally halved, unless the circumstances are such that the negligence was very minor or had little significance for the insurance claim. In the event of gross negligence, the right to compensation may be lost completely. The same applies if the insured was under the influence of alcohol, sleeping pills, narcotics or other intoxicant or committed a deliberate act that could lead to at least a fine under Swedish law.

2.1.2 Exceptions

Personal injury cover under this insurance only applies to the extent that corresponding compensation cannot be given through a collective agreement on compensation for occupational injuries or through another corresponding insurance, through motor vehicle insurance or according to the rules of liability for the operator of rail or air travel or other facility for which the rules for injury are specifically regulated by law.

In cases where there is a right to annuity according to the Social insurance Code (2010:110), the occupational injury annuity is coordinated with compensation under this insurance.

This insurance covers damages/injuries or expenses only to the extent that compensation cannot be obtained according to the Social insurance Code (2010:110), other legislation or other insurance.

The insurance does not cover injuries that have not been documented in the form of medical records, certification etc. within the health care service in connection with the event.

The insurance does not cover victimization or abusive behaviour.

2.2 Medical and dental care cover

The insurance covers necessary, reasonable and documented expenses for emergency medical or emergency dental care when the insured has suffered an illness or accident abroad during the insurance period. For each event, compensation is paid for such expenses during a period of up to 90 days from the first contact with the care provider. There is no upper limit to the amount of insurance cover for emergency medical care. For emergency dental care, compensation is limited to maximum of SEK 3,000 per calendar year.

In the event of pregnancy, compensation is paid for expenses for emergency medical care abroad for the insured in connection with delivery, miscarriage or other serious complications before the end of the 28th week of pregnancy (27+6). In such cases, compensation can be paid for medical care for both mother and child for more than 90 days.

The insurance covers the costs of abortion in the country of the educational course. If an abortion cannot be performed in the country of study, the insured must contact Falck Global Assistance or Kammarkollegiet.

Medical care and dental care must always be documented by receipts or other documents to verify the costs. The insurance only covers medicines that are prescribed by a doctor.

The insurance covers documented telephone expenses for calls to Kammarkollegiet and Falck Global Assistance, maximum SEK 1,500.

2.2.1 Exceptions

The insurance does not cover visits to a doctor for symptoms or illnesses that the insured had before travelling abroad. If the insured’s condition rapidly worsens during his or her stay abroad, the insurance covers medical care until the condition is stabilised.

The insurance does not cover additional expenses in connection with health or dental care. Examples of such additional expenses may be accommodation, taxi fares, cost of rebooking tickets etc.

The insurance does not cover health examinations, eye examinations, glasses, contraceptives, prescriptions for planned medication, vaccination, planned checks during pregnancy and other planned medical/dental care. Testing for sexually transmitted diseases, without symptoms or indication of actual infection, is not covered.

Treatment by a chiropractor, naprapathy or physiotherapist is only covered if there is a referral from a qualified doctor.

2.2.2 Instructions

At present Sweden has agreements on sickness benefits with other countries in the EU/EEA and Switzerland, as well as with some convention countries.

If the insured intends to travel to such a country, he or she must bring a certificate/card (EU card) from the social insurance agency Försäkringskassan, which shows that the insured belongs to the agency, so that he or she can be assured health care according to the agreement.

The insured must obtain Försäkringskassan’s decision before Kammarkollegiet can consider the question of compensation for emergency medical or dental care. Försäkringskassan’s decision must be attached to the notification of claim to Kammarkollegiet.

In the event of serious illness, admission to hospital or a need for other active assistance (for example where the care is estimated to involve great expense), contact must be made with:

Falck Global Assistance

Tel: +46 85 87 71 749

Fax: +46 85 87 71 762

Invoices from hospitals etc. shall always be issued to the insured, never to Kammarkollegiet.

2.3 Home transport cover

The insurance covers necessary and reasonable additional expenses for travel or transport of the insured to Sweden when the insured has suffered serious illness or extensive personal injury during the insurance period. The same applies to repatriation of the deceased in the event of the insured’s death. An assessment of whether repatriation is necessary shall always be made by the local doctor together with a doctor from Falck Global Assistance.

Expenses for repatriation organised by anyone other than Falck Global Assistance will not be covered.

If the insured’s residence is not in Sweden, the insurance may cover repatriation to the home country.

If Falck Global Assistance recommends repatriation and the insured does not agree with this, Kammarkollegiet may decline to pay compensation for continuing care abroad for the illness/injury in question.

If there is a need for repatriation, contact must always be made with Kammarkollegiet or with:

Instructions

If the insured has to cancel his or her studies or internship abroad and travel back to Sweden or the country where the insured party has his/her residence, and there are less than seven days until the normal date for travel home, he/she shall contact Kammarkollegiet or Falck Global Assistance before the journey home starts. If the insured does not contact Kammarkollegiet or Falck Global Assistance, no compensation will be paid for costs. The insurance will only cover additional costs for the journey home.

If the insured receives assistance from Falck Global Assistance for the travel home, then the journey must be made at the first possible opportunity provided by Falck Global Assistance. If not, the costs will not be covered.

The insurance covers travel home to Sweden or the country where the insured has his/her residence or, where applicable, travel to the closest airport from the insured’s registered address. The insurance also covers travel from the airport by public transport to the location where the insured has his/her registered residence.

Other expenses for travel to the relative/funeral/hospital in another city are not covered.

The insurance is also valid for travel home for the funeral of a relative who died before the outward travel to the country of study.

2.5.2 2.5.2 Interruptions caused by terrorism, serious infectious disease, war, war-like unrest or natural disaster

If the insured has to prematurely cancel his or her studies or internship abroad because of

• terrorism,

• an extensive outbreak of serious infection or

• war, war-like unrest or natural disaster in the country being visited,

then the insured will receive compensation for additional costs of repatriation to Sweden. If the insured’s residence is not in Sweden, the insurance may cover the additional costs of travel to the home country.

If the insured has a re-bookable return ticket, the insurance covers the costs of the rebooking. If the insured’s return ticket is not rebookable, the insurance covers the additional costs incurred to obtain a return ticket. When assessing what is defined as additional costs for the insured, the rule is that the cost shall exceed the cost paid by the insured for the ordinary return ticket at the end of the studies. The insured must be able to document his/her additional costs.

If the insured travels by own car to Sweden, the insurance may cover ferry tickets, mileage according to the Swedish Tax Agency’s standard rates and a reasonable number of nights in a hotel, if this is a reimbursable additional cost according to the above. The same applies to the costs for train or bus tickets or car hire to travel to a different airport than would normally have been used for the travel home. Taxi costs may be covered on exception when general public transport is not available. The maximum cover is SEK 500.

The insurance may also cover additional costs for:

The insurance does not cover any other additional costs.

2.6 Connection cover

Compensation can be given if the insured is delayed and thereby misses his or her transport to the country where the studies/practice are to begin or the ordinary homeward travel from the country where the studies/practice have finished. The travel must have been booked in advance.

Compensation can be given for additional expenses that arise in order to be able to connect with the travel. Examples of additional expenses include the cost of a new ticket or an extra night in a hotel that is necessary in order to be able to continue the journey.

The maximum compensation for additional expenses is SEK 15,000.

Instructions

The delay must be unforeseen and unplanned. No compensation is given if the insured has caused the delay him or herself by oversleeping, starting out for the airport, station etc. too late or not taken traffic or weather conditions into account. Neither is compensation given if the insured cannot travel because of illness or if the transport company becomes bankrupt.

The insurance does not compensate expenses that can be compensated by the transport company or travel organiser.

2.7.1 Note

Fragile items or property that is prone to theft must be carried as hand baggage. The insured should be aware that theft may occur from locked bags that have been checked in. Kammarkollegiet assumes the ownership rights to lost property that is compensated by Kammarkollegiet. If property that has been compensated should be found or recovered, the insured must inform Kammarkollegiet of this.

2.7.2 Instructions

Theft must be immediately reported to the local police, if possible. If this is not possible, the theft can be reported to the police in Sweden as soon as the insured arrives home. If it is possible to file a police report abroad but the insured fails to do so, the right to compensation no longer applies. Theft in a hotel must also be reported to the hotel. Damage to or loss of transported baggage must be reported to the transportation company. As a first step, the hotel’s or transportation company’s liability, obligations or offers must be requested and used.

2.7.3 Duty of care

The insured shall observe normal care, i.e. handle and store the property in a satisfactory way and otherwise do what may reasonably be expected to avoid theft or other damage. All windows and doors must be closed and locked if nobody is in. For example, leaving money in a hotel room, leaving a bag or technical equipment unattended or leaving property that is prone to theft in a car would normally be considered negligent. If the insured is in a hotel, money, valuable documents and travel documents must be locked in a safe, deposit box etc.

In the event of negligence, compensation is normally halved, unless the circumstances indicate that the negligence was very minor or had little significance for the insurance claim. The same applies if the insured has attempted to limit the damage. If the negligence is especially serious, for example if a bag has been left unattended in a restaurant, hotel lobby or hotel breakfast room, the right to compensation may be lost completely.

2.7.4 Compensation and valuation rules

In the case of damage to property, documented repair costs are compensated up to the value of the property before it was damaged.

In the case of loss, compensation is paid for the value of the property before it was lost. Valuation does not take into account sentimental value, i.e., the insured’s own feelings about the property.

The insured must be able to document the property with a receipt or other document showing the purchase.

Property is covered as follows:

• New property – less than one year since the date of purchase. 100% compensation for equivalent new property is paid.

• Older property – more than one year since the date of purchase. Compensation, with a deduction of a percentage of the present price of equivalent property as stated in the table below, is paid.

• No compensation is given for property more than 6 years old. However, for clocks and watches that are more than six year’s old, 20% of the value is paid.

• For consumables such as cosmetics, perfume, medicines, hygiene articles and underwear, compensation of 50% of the price new is paid. The same applies to property for personal use or without second-hand value.

• For property that does not appear in the table below, the value of the item before damage or loss is the cost of replacement less a deduction for age and use. The deduction for age and use is 10% per year starting one year after the date of purchase, although not more than 70%.

• For precious metal, genuine pearls and gemstones, 100% of the value of equivalent property is paid. The highest amount of compensation is however SEK 10,000.

2.9.1 Note

A payment from Falck Global Assistance is not to be considered as compensation for a claim but rather as a loan from Kammarkollegiet to the insured. The amount of the loan is deducted from the compensation during claims adjustment. Thus, where applicable, the insured is liable to repay the difference between the loan and the compensation to Kammarkollegiet.

2.10 Crisis and disaster cover

If the insured is in an area in the country of study which suffers a natural disaster or war-like unrest and because of these circumstances is forced to move to a safer location in the country of study or change his or her form of accommodation, compensation may be paid for necessary and reasonable additional expenses for subsistence, accommodation and domestic travel.

The maximum amount of compensation is SEK 5,000. The expenses must be documented with original receipts.

• Cohabiting partner who is registered at the same address as the insured

• Child

• Grandchild

• Sibling

• Parent

• Grandparent

• Parent in law*

The effects of smoke, gas, chemical substances, heat, cold or radiation are considered to be equivalent to external violence. The same applies to changes in pressure and other effects on the body during diving lessons. The insurance does not cover frostbite injuries that do not occur suddenly.

In spite of the requirement for an involuntary event, sudden events involving external violence to the body are also considered to be accidents if they arise in connection with work, education, internship or exercises that the insured participates in voluntarily, if the event is an undesired and unforeseen consequence of this. The same applies to injury or illness that arises in connection with practicing injection or sample taking during health care teaching.

Repetitive strain or overload injuries, twisting injuries and damage to teeth when chewing or biting are not defined as accidents. The same applies to heart attack, cerebral haemorrhage etc., as well as illness caused by bacteria, virus or other infection that did not arise in connection with a sudden and involuntary event involving external violence to the body.

However, twisting injuries to the knee are defined as an accident
