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.
What is your situation?
Pension

You are receiving a Dutch pension. And you live abroad or are going to live there soon.
Benefit

You are receiving a Dutch benefit. And you live abroad or are going to live there soon.
Cross-border worker

You work in the Netherlands and live with your family members across the border. Or your family lives abroad without you.
