Abortion
The OOM Studying in the Netherlands Insurance is a medical insurance for foreign young people who come to the Netherlands as a student, intern or au pair.
What does the insurance reimburse?
You will receive reimbursement for the costs of an abortion if a doctor thinks this is a medical necessity or if the abortion is the result of a sexual offence.
Are there costs for you?
With the OOM Studying in the Netherlands Insurance you can opt for no excess or an excess of €150. If you incur costs which are covered by the insurance and you have opted for an excess of €150, you then pay for the first part of the costs yourself.
An example

A few weeks later you discover you are pregnant due to the sexual offence. You have an abortion in hospital. The costs are €750. If you have an excess of €150, you will receive a reimbursement of €600 if the abortion takes place within the duration of your insurance.
