You may not be covered by Dutch national health insurance during your voluntary work abroad. In this case, we will provide you with proper cover for healthcare costs. But even if you can keep your Dutch national health insurance, our insurance is still a good idea. OOM insurance is an important addition if you are going to do voluntary work in a country where medical care is expensive. This is because Dutch national health insurance will never reimburse more than the amount you would receive in the Netherlands.

There are countless forms of voluntary work abroad. That's why you only insure what suits you. You can choose from the following types of cover:

1. Healthcare costs
   Choice between Light, Regular or Comfort cover.
2. Dentist
   Choice of cover of €350, €700 or €1,050.
3. SOS
   For if you need to be evacuated to the Netherlands because local treatment is not possible and cannot be postponed: this is covered free of charge with this healthcare insurance.
4. Travel
   If you want to explore the country in addition to your work as a volunteer, or if you won't be working in one place.
5. Cancellation
   For when you need to change your trip to a later date, or if your adventure is disrupted unexpectedly.
6. Household contents
   For damage to your belongings due to storm, fire or burglary at the place where you are staying.
7. Liability
   For damage you cause to others, both during and after working hours.
8. Legal assistance
   For help with a legal dispute, such as the costs of hiring a lawyer.
9. Accidents
   For a one-off amount in the event of disability or death.
