My family member who received reciprocal healthcare coverage via the CAK has died. Whom should I notify?

Reporting a death to the CAK

Find out how to notify the CAK of a death on the CAK website.

To process the notification of a death, the CAK needs a death certificate. You can upload it digitally or send a copy of the certificate by post.

Death has already been reported to another government organisation

If you have already reported the death to another government organisation with access to the Non-residents Records Database (RNI), the CAK will automatically receive notification of this. You do not have to report the death to the CAK.

After reporting a death

After you have reported a death, you will receive a confirmation letter from the CAK. The letter explains any possible consequences for co-insured family members. If there are any outstanding payments or amounts to be refunded, you will receive an annual statement from the CAK in the year following the death. This statement shows the amount still owed or to be received by the next of kin.

You were insured on the deceased person’s plan

If you were insured on the deceased person’s health insurance plan as a family member, your health insurance through the CAK will also end. You will need to arrange other health insurance.
