Plastic surgery

The OOM Schengen Visitor Insurance is a medical insurance if you are staying in the Netherlands temporarily. The insurance reimburses unexpected medical expenses.

You will receive reimbursement for treatment by a plastic surgeon if:

  • the operation is the result of an accident
  • you have received permission for the operation from our medical advisor

If you are treated by a plastic surgeon for an existing ailment or complaint you already had on taking out insurance, we will not reimburse these costs. This also applies if you did not know you had the ailment or complaint at the time you took out the insurance.

An excess applies to OOM Schengen Visitor Insurance. If you incur costs which are covered by the insurance, you pay the first part of these costs yourself. Per period insured your excess is:

  • €50 if you are younger than 70 years
  • €100 if you are aged between 70 and 79 years
  • €200 if you are aged 80 and above

You are 56 years old and you burn your hand. During the healing process, excess scar tissue grows which has to be removed by a plastic surgeon. The costs are €875. You have an excess of €50. You will receive a reimbursement of €825,- if you have prior permission from our medical advisor.

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