Health insurance abroad


You do not live in the Netherlands, but you do have a pension or benefit from the Netherlands. In that case, the Netherlands will sometimes remain responsible for your healthcare costs. This has been agreed with a number of countries. You will then arrange your health insurance through the CAK. These arrangements also apply to family members of cross-border workers working in the Netherlands.
