In brief

The content of the basic health insurance is laid down by law and is therefore the same at every insurer. So anyone looking for an affordable policy compares not the content but the premium, the policy form, the contracted care providers, the excess chosen and the supplementary cover.

With an in-kind policy the insurer pays for care from providers it has a contract with. If you go to a non-contracted provider, you normally do not get the full amount back. With a reimbursement policy your freedom of choice is greater and the premium usually higher. So always check whether your own hospital or practitioner is contracted.

Finass Verzekert advises on and arranges non-life insurance. Health insurance falls outside that: we do not arrange it and we do not compare it. What is reimbursed is set out in the policy conditions, the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) and the Zorgverzekeringswet (the Dutch Health Insurance Act); those documents are decisive, not an advertisement or a comparison score.

Where things go wrong in practice

Four points that weigh more heavily than the difference in premium between providers.

The cheapest policy is the narrowest

A lower premium almost always goes together with less freedom of choice: fewer contracted providers, a voluntary excess or a more limited supplementary package. That can be a sensible choice if you use little care, but not if you have a regular practitioner who falls outside the contract.

Non-contracted care is not reimbursed in full

With an in-kind policy, care from a non-contracted provider is normally reimbursed only in part. You pay the difference yourself, and with a course of treatment that can mount up considerably. Check for each insurer and each year whether your hospital, mental health institution or physiotherapist is on the list of contracts; that list changes.

The supplementary package has limits

Unlike the basic insurance, there is no obligation to accept you for supplementary cover. Health questions may be asked and there are often maximum reimbursements per year, a waiting period or an exclusion for existing complaints. Work out what you actually use; above the maximum you pay everything yourself.

The excess does not apply everywhere

The compulsory excess does not apply to all care: GP care, midwifery and maternity care fall outside it, among others, as do reimbursements from supplementary insurance. Anyone choosing a voluntary excess lowers the premium but pays more themselves when using care. Only do that with a reserve to fall back on.

What to look out for when comparing

  • Type of policy: in-kind, reimbursement or a combination determines your freedom of choice
  • Contracted providers: is your hospital or practitioner on this year's list
  • Excess: a voluntary excess lowers the premium and increases what you pay yourself
  • Additional cover: maximum reimbursements, waiting periods and acceptance conditions
  • Healthcare allowance: an income-related contribution that you apply for from the Belastingdienst (the Dutch tax authority)
  • Payment term: paying a year in advance gives a discount with some insurers

This overview is general in nature and is not personal advice.

Frequently asked questions

This is what people ask us most.

Does the basic package differ from insurer to insurer?

No. The content of the basic insurance is laid down by law and is therefore the same everywhere. What does differ is the premium, the type of policy, which care providers the insurer has a contract with and how the service is organised. So compare on those points and not on the basic package itself.

Does Finass Verzekert arrange health insurance?

No. We advise and act as an intermediary in non-life insurance only. We do not arrange health insurance and we do not compare it. This page only explains the system. For an application or a question about reimbursement, contact the health insurer itself or a comparison service for healthcare.

What is the difference between in-kind and reimbursement?

With an in-kind policy the insurer pays for care from providers it has a contract with; outside that contract you normally receive partial reimbursement. With a reimbursement policy the choice is wider and the premium usually higher. There are also combination policies where this differs by type of care.

Is a voluntary excess worthwhile?

That depends on your expected use of care and on your reserves. The premium falls, but you pay more yourself when you use care. Anyone using chronic care or expecting treatment will almost certainly end up with the higher personal payment. Only choose this if you can absorb the amount without borrowing.

When can I switch?

In principle around the turn of the year: you cancel with effect from the end of the calendar year and then choose a new insurer, which has to accept you for the basic insurance. That obligation to accept does not apply to the supplementary package, so arrange that at the same time and not only after cancelling.

Something to arrange in non-life insurance?

We compare what several insurers offer for liability, accidents, incapacity for work and sickness absence.
