EU Health Insurance Card

You can get an EU Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from your insurance company in your own country if you are insured under a national health service and you are going to be staying abroad. N.B. in this case, it is the health insurance company in your own country who decides what is considered a temporary stay, and they may apply different criteria than those normally applied in the Netherlands. With the EHIC you will continue to be covered by the insurance in your home country.

Refund medical costs with EHIC

You do not have to send the invoices to your own insurance company in your home country. Send the invoices for medical treatment in the Netherlands to AGIS (a Dutch health insurance company) with a copy of your EHIC, as well as your address and bank account number, in order to receive a refund of the costs.
