TB test

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.

Whether you get reimbursement for a TB test depends on the cover you have chosen:

  • standard cover: no reimbursement
  • extended cover: you will receive reimbursement for the costs up to €50 of a Mantoux test and/or thorax x-ray.

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.

The General Practitioner asks you to have a Mantoux test done to check if you have previously been infected with the bacteria which can cause tuberculosis. The cost of this test is €30. If you have extended cover and no excess, you will receive a reimbursement of the total costs.

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

Please note that the terms and conditions of your insurance take precedence over the information provided here.
