How do I arrange healthcare in my country of residence?

Tip
It is useful to request information from the health insurance fund in your new country of residence first. They can tell you if you need any additional documents or information.Co-insuring family members
Did you indicate on the 'Application for a document S1/form 121' that you want to co-insure family members? If so, you will receive a separate document S1/form 121 for each family member. You need to hand it over to the health insurance fund in your new country of residence. The health insurance fund assesses whether you can co-insure your family members. This depends on the rules in your new country of residence. The health insurance fund lets us know which family members you can co-insure.
Healthcare contribution
For yourself and for your co-insured family members you pay a healthcare contribution to us through your pension or benefit. Your country of residence will settle the costs of medical care for you and your co-insured family members with the Netherlands.
