Exchange student without a CPR number yet?
Studying abroad in Denmark and need a doctor before you’re set up in the public system? Until your CPR number and yellow health card arrive, you can still get care in English — before you arrive, after you land, and once your public coverage is in place. Here’s what to do at each step.
Ill during your semester?
Book online in under a minute — DKK 1,000 including tests taken during the visit. Same fixed price for everyone.
Pay by card in the clinic after your visit — no prepayment.
Three steps, depending on where you are
- 1 · Before you arrive — get your treatment plan approved. Already on a treatment at home? Create a profile and upload your plan. One of our doctors reviews it, and once it’s approved it’s saved to your profile — you’ll get an email from us the moment it’s approved, so your care is ready before you land. Often covered by your travel or student health insurance.
Upload your treatment plan → - 2 · After you arrive, before your yellow card — book a private appointment. If you get ill or need a consultation before your health-insurance card comes through, book a same-day or next-day time at one of our clinics. You get an itemised receipt to claim on your insurance.
Book an appointment → - 3 · Once you have your yellow card — you’re in the public system. When your CPR number and yellow health card arrive, you’re assigned a GP and everyday visits are free.
Call the number printed on your health card — weekdays 08:00–12:00.
Important — once you’re covered, use your own GP
The private options above apply only until you have a CPR number and have been assigned a GP. If you already hold a Danish yellow health-insurance card, GP care is free through the public system — please use your assigned doctor rather than booking privately. Not sure which applies to you? Call us and we’ll point you the right way.
What students come to us for
The realistic list from our clinic on Strøget: urinary tract infections, sore throats, skin infections, STI tests, contraception, prescriptions for medication left at home, mental-health concerns that cannot wait, and sick notes for missed exams. Everything is in English, prices are fixed, and most study-abroad insurance policies reimburse the visit.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a CPR number to see you?
No. Book online, bring your passport or ID, and pay by card after the visit.
Can you review my treatment plan before I arrive?
Yes. Upload your plan to your profile and one of our doctors reviews it; once it’s approved it’s saved to your profile and we email you, so everything is ready before you land.
Will my study-abroad insurance pay?
Most policies reimburse GP visits — you get an itemised receipt straight away. Check your policy’s claim deadline.
I missed an exam because I was ill — what do I do?
See a doctor while you are ill and get a sick note the same day. Universities usually have short deadlines for handing it in.
Just arrived and feeling ill?
Book the first available time — in English, two minutes from City Hall Square.
