Dutch national health insurance
If you are Dutch and go abroad to study, as an intern or au pair, your personal situation will determine whether you will have to retain the mandatory Dutch national health insurance. To find out what your situation is, visit the Dutch Government website (in Dutch).
The Dutch national health insurance covers unexpected necessary care worldwide. Bear in mind that reimbursement is based on what the treatment would cost in the Netherlands. In some countries healthcare is much more expensive than in the Netherlands and so you may have to pay a lot extra.
OOM Verzekeringen does not offer Dutch national health insurance. Our health insurance is meant for those who are not eligible for the Dutch national health insurance. If you are obliged to retain the Dutch national health insurance, our health insurance could be a supplement if you go to a country where healthcare is much more expensive, for example.
