Medical costs vary significantly per country. This is why we offer a choice of 3 regions:

• Six-monthly check-up
• Dental treatment as a medical necessity, such as diagnostics, prevention and dental cleaning

You will not receive reimbursement for cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening. There is also no own risk excess for OOM Dental Cover insurance.

SOS Insurance includes cover of the costs of repatriation (return to the Netherlands), or evacuation if treatment is not possible locally and cannot be postponed. SOS Insurance also covers costs due to war and kindred risks.

If you have taken out OOM Living Abroad health insurance, SOS insurance is included, so you do not have to take this out separately.

There is no own risk excess for this insurance.

The travel insurance applies to all insured persons on the policy and includes cover for:

• Theft, loss or damage to luggage, with a reimbursement of from €1,500 up to a maximum of €4.500, depending on your choice
