At various ages and in various family situations, you need to be able to compensate for loss of income or major expenses that may arise temporarily – regardless of what illness you are affected by. For this reason, it is good to obtain the security that the sickness and critical illness insurance can offer.
Overview
Compensation for sick leave
Compensation for sick leave is paid monthly. The amount of compensation you receive depends on the amount of compensation you have chosen and your level of incapacity, although not less than 25 per cent.
Compensation can be paid after 3 months’ incapacity. Compensation is paid for a maximum of 36 months.
The insurance also applies to grant recipients who are not covered by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s regulations regarding SGI.

Compensation in the event of certain diagnoses
Compensation is paid at SEK 60 000 if, due to a serious illness or accidental injury, you are given one of the following diagnoses determined by a medical specialist in Sweden.
If you have a diagnosis caused by illness, the diagnosis must have been made after the insurance has been valid for at least three consecutive months in order for you to be entitled to compensation for the diagnosis.
The compensation is the same as the insured amount you select for the insurance. The policy statement sets out the scope of the insurance cover as well as the size of the compensation.

Compensation for crisis intervention
If you suffer from mental ill health as a direct consequence of a diagnosis that grants entitlement to compensation in this insurance, you can receive crisis intervention in the form of ten treatments with a therapist or psychologist that we appoint. We will also reimburse reasonable and necessary costs for travel and interpreters.
