- Medical specialist
- Medicines
- Maternity care and midwifery
- Ambulance and patient transport

- Contraception form the age of 21

Excess
If you need regular care, opt for the standard excess of €385. Do you expect to incur few medical expenses? And do you have €885 in your savings account for when you need it? Then select a higher excess and pay a lower premium.
Useful info: you don’t pay excess for example, for your GP and care for children under 18.

Children up to the age of 18 insured too
Children up to the age of 18 are insured on your basic insurance and the supplementary insurance too. You don’t pay a premium for them. Does your partner have more extensive supplementary insurance? If so, add your children to your partner’s insurance. Then they will get the same supplementary package.
Did you know that you don’t pay excess for children under 18? Sometimes you pay a personal contribution. But most of the care for your child is fully reimbursed.

Can I get ZieZo basic insurance without a DigiD?
Yes, but we don’t recommend it as you need a DigiD to view your ZieZo policy certificate and claims overview. Without a DigiD, you can only request information by phone.
Can I take out ZieZo from abroad?
Yes, you can as long as you are entitled to Dutch health insurance. Clearly state that you want to take out insurance from abroad.
Is the pill reimbursed under basic insurance?
Yes, as long as you are under 21, or taking the pill for medical reasons such as endometriosis or menorrhagia. This means you can receive the pill on medical indication. For some brands of the pill, you may still have to pay a contribution.
If you are over 21 and do not have a medical indication, then you will need supplementary insurance to have your pill reimbursed. Further information is available in Dutch only.
Is basic insurance enough for me?
Do you think that you don’t need anything extra care, such as physiotherapy or visits to the dentist? If so, basic insurance is sufficient.
However, do bear in mind that you may encounter unexpected expenses. Something might happen that the basic insurance policy doesn’t cover. For example, you could fall ill abroad and need to be brought back to the Netherlands.
