Your cover

What Dutch health insurance covers

Dutch basic health insurance covers the same care at every insurer: GP, hospital and prescription medicines. The difference is what you pay and what you add. Your deductible is the amount you pay yourself before the insurance covers the rest. In 2026 the deductible starts at €385 a year (Rijksoverheid, checked September 2026).

Arranging the insurance is one part. We take on the tax that follows.

What our associated company does for you

They compare insurers and fit the cover to how you actually live. They match your deductible, your supplementary cover and your policy type. Then they arrange the policy.

What we do

We explain your options in plain English. And we check your zorgtoeslag, the Dutch healthcare allowance, at the same time.

We look at your income, your tax and your zorgtoeslag. Your cover stays in step as your situation changes.

Insurance advice is provided by our associated company A&H Finance, where Kim works. They advise you, arrange the insurance and invoice you. Your agreement for this advice is with them and they are responsible for the service. TaxSavers introduces you and is not a party to that agreement. Do you have a complaint about the advice? Raise it with them first. If you do not reach a solution together, you can take it to Kifid. They are registered there and have accepted binding advice, so a Kifid ruling binds them.

Health insurance questions, answered straight

Do I need Dutch health insurance?
Yes. If you live or work in the Netherlands, basic health insurance is mandatory. The deadline for arranging one is four months. The four months run from the day you arrive. Your cover starts on that day too. Wait longer and you pay any care costs yourself. A foreign or travel policy does not replace it. The exception is an employer based outside the Netherlands. Then the insurance from your home country can be enough. Check this with the SVB. Dutch cover ends when you deregister.
What does the basic package cover?
Every insurer must offer the identical basic package, set by the government. The differences are premium, service and what you add on top.
What is the eigen risico?
The deductible: the first €385 of most care each year is your own cost. That is the 2026 amount (Rijksoverheid, checked September 2026). GP visits don't count toward it. A higher voluntary deductible lowers your premium.
Am I entitled to zorgtoeslag?
That depends on your income and your savings. We check your entitlement with your income details and help you arrange it. Read how the healthcare allowance works to see when you qualify.
Can I switch insurers?
Yes, every year: cancel by 31 December, choose new cover by 31 January. You get a cover check every season.
What does the advice cost?
Price on request. You hear the price in your free intro call.
Can I get help in English?
Yes, we explain everything in plain English. Policy terms are Dutch and we translate what matters.
Are you authorised to give mortgage and insurance advice?
TaxSavers advises on tax, not on mortgages, insurance or pensions. For those we work with A&H Finance, a trade name of New Business Group B.V. They hold the AFM licence (12017511) and they advise and arrange. We introduce you and take on the tax that follows.
