Preventative testing for breast cancer

The OOM Living Abroad Insurance is a medical insurance for a longer or permanent stay abroad.

What does the insurance reimburse?

Whether you get reimbursement for preventive testing for breast cancer depends on the cover you have chosen:

  • Regular cover: no reimbursement
  • Comfort and DeLuxe cover: women aged 30 and above will receive reimbursement for an MRI scan or mammogram once every 2 years.
Are the 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.   

An example

You are 48 years old. The General Practitioner refers you to the hospital for a mammogram. The costs are €295. If you have Comfort cover and no excess, you will receive a reimbursement of the total costs if you have not claimed costs of preventive testing for breast cancer within the previous 2 years.    

How to claim costs?

You can claim your medical expenses quickly and easily via My OOM.
