@kirstenvandermeer_: 🇳🇱 Dutch health insurance + “eigen risico” explained If you live or work in the Netherlands, you need Dutch basic health insurance (basisverzekering). But having insurance doesn’t mean all healthcare is immediately free. 👀 That’s where eigen risico comes in: your annual deductible. In 2026, the mandatory deductible is €385 per year. This means you pay the first €385 of some healthcare costs covered by your basic insurance yourself. After that, your insurer covers the costs according to your policy. And now you also know what the hell that Dutch word means. 🇳🇱✨ #ExpatsInTheNetherlands #DutchHealthcare #EigenRisico #LivingInTheNetherlands #DutchHR
So it gets billed after the year finishes right? I go tomorrow for a blood test and next month for a small surgery

Hospitals are the worst and so are the doctors in the Netherlands, take your money and GO TO GERMANY for your health.

Basically you’re paying 2,6k per year for being able to use GP, and when they finally decide you’re able to QUALIFY cause you’re literally dying to see a specialist, the specialist doesn’t do shit and help with nothing so you’re developing serious sicknesses instead of getting healthy it in the first place. Completely broken system based on the grid of money from insurance companies, the fact that those doctors all have criteria’s to even get any help.. I’m sorry don’t bother yourself getting healthcare in Netherlands, travel to other countries to get any diagnosis. That’s the worst part of living in Nl

And it's not per blood test; you have to pay €385. It can be small bills from different sources, like bloodwork, physical therapy, or medication that's not fully covered, which will add up to €385 per year, and that amount you have to pay yourself on top of your monthly payment. After you have used your own €385 risk, the insurance will cover the remaining bills for the rest of the year.

The blood test was about 10/20 cents per thing measured for me! So about 5/10€ total. Getting a suspicious mole removed was about 10€ extra? The costs can be quite low! And you can get insurance where they can only bill you up to 64 per month from your eigen risico! So that even if it’s 385€ in the first month, you can pay it in parts of 64€

Nonsense! even a call to gp costs couple euros! check you're health insurance app or website to see that even when the GP answers to you on the app or something that counts as a small bill
