With your basic insurance, you have a compulsory deductible (own risk). Up to this amount you have to pay the healthcare costs you make yourself. Almost all health care that reimburses the basic package of your health insurance is covered by your own risk; this includes operations and emergency care in the hospital and also your medicines.
A supplementary insurance for healthcare is an insurance for the healthcare costs that are not included in the basic health insurance package. For example, dental care for people aged 18 and older, coverage for recovery, spa and resort resorts or extensive cover for physiotherapy.
The additional insurance consists of physiotherapy (fisiotherapie), alternative care (alternative zorg), glasses & contacts (brillen en lenzen), birth control (anticonceptie). Each of the options (good, better & best) has a different level of these services.
The dental insurance consists of dental cost coverage (tandartskosten), which includes periodic inspection (periodieke controle) and reimbursement for other treatments (vergoeding overige behandelingen). Additionally, it consists of orthodontics (orthodontie).
