Updates

There have been several developments for 2024 to the Dutch health insurance. In 2024, the mandatory deductible (385 Euro per year) and the maximum out-of-pocket expenditure for prescribed medicines (250 Euro per year) have not changed compared to 2023. Meanwhile, maternity care has become more flexible and is now possible for up to six weeks, whereas the previous maximum was 10 days after delivery. To implement this effectively, a new care protocol needs to be developed. In addition, fall prevention measures have been introduced and will be covered under the basic benefits package for elderly at high risk for falls and who have additional somatic or mental problems.
