What costs will be reimbursed?
If you have notified your health insurer in advance, you will know what is and what is not reimbursed. It is possible that you still have to pay some costs yourself to the practitioner abroad. You can submit these costs to us. This is also possible if you have not discussed the treatment beforehand.
Use the Declaration form Costs of medical care in Europe for this. Please enclose the following documents with the form:
- original bills
- receipts
- referral letters
- prescriptions
- treatment reports
Rates
We will check whether you are entitled to reimbursement of your costs in accordance with the rules of the Dutch basic package (Dutch rate).
Switzerland and the United Kingdom
Are you going to Switzerland or the United Kingdom for medical treatment? And did you not request permission in advance? Unfortunately, you cannot claim costs afterwards.
Please note
- Costs incurred in your country of residence must be submitted to your health insurer in your country of residence.
- Costs incurred in the Netherlands must be submitted to the Zilveren Kruis, Foreign Law Group, PO Box 650, 7300AR Apeldoorn.
