Alternative health care
The OOM Living Abroad Insurance is a medical insurance for a longer or permanent stay abroad.
What does the insurance reimburse?
Alternative health care includes osteopathy, homeopathy, anthroposophical medicine and acupuncture. Whether you get reimbursement for alternative health care depends on the cover you have chosen:
- Regular cover: no reimbursement
- Comfort cover: a maximum of €50 per consultation and €500 per year insured (or period insured if you are insured for less than a year).
- DeLuxe cover: a maximum of €50 per consultation and €1,000 per year insured (or period insured if you are insured for less than a year).
The alternative healer must be registered with an approved professional association in the country where you are staying.
Are there costs for you?
With the OOM Living Abroad Insurance you can opt for no excess or an excess of €250, €500 or €1,000. If you have opted for an excess and you incur costs which are covered by the insurance, you then pay the first part of these costs yourself.
