Health insurance and switching: until when is this possible?

Make no mistake and be on time! Not only in Bruinisse, but also in other parts of the Netherlands, people wonder until when you can actually change your health insurance. This is a very good question and we understand that you have this question. That is why we would like to help you further. Below you can read exactly until when and how you can change your health insurance.

When can you switch?

Are you planning to change your health insurance? Please note! This is not possible at any time of the year. This is only possible at the end of the year. To be precise, you can change your health insurance from mid-November to December 31st. Have you already canceled your current health insurance? Then you can still join another health insurance policy until February: do this before January 31st. Do you want to know more details about changing your health insurance?

When can you switch from basic insurance to supplementary insurance?

It may also be the case that you do not want to change health insurers, but that you want to take out additional insurance. Consider, for example, supplementary insurance. Then you probably also wonder whether this is only possible at the end of the year.

When this is possible varies per insurer. For example, with one insurer this is also possible between November and December, but with some insurers this is even possible all year round. Therefore, do thorough research before taking out health insurance and check what applies to that particular health insurance policy. For this you can easily look at Poliswijzer.nl/zorgverzekering. Here the different insurance companies are compared with each other.

How do you switch to another health insurance policy?

If you're on time, you'll naturally need to know how to sign up with a new health insurer. This can often be done very easily online via your health insurer's website or a comparison website. If you switch to a new insurance provider, you have two options. First, you can cancel your old policy and then look for a new one, or you can sign up with a new company, and then your old policy will be automatically canceled. Just to be sure, check whether this is actually happening: you can also inform us yourself that you're canceling your current health insurance. This way, you avoid paying twice.
