Arrange your health insurance
Last updated on 15 August 2026

Health insurance is mandatory for anyone living and working the Netherlands. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam offers a supplementary group health insurance scheme in cooperation with health insurer Nationale Nederlanden, OHRA and Zilveren Kruis.

For years, VU Amsterdam has had a group health insurance scheme for its employees with Zilveren Kruis. As of 1 October 2022 this offer has been expanded to include the health insurers Nationale Nederlanden and OHRA. This collective applies to you and your family members.

If you are still insured elsewhere to a group health insurance scheme at the time of employment, and you are interested in participating in one of these group health insurance schemes, you need to cancel your current insurance policy at the earliest possible date.

If you are already insured with Nationale Nederlanden, OHRA or Zilveren Kruis and you want to switch to the group health insurance scheme of the same health insurer, you can switch as of the first day of the following month. You then benefit from the collective added value. Please contact the relevant health insurer for this. In all other cases you can make the switch as of 1 January.

Nationale Nederlanden

Nationale Nederlanden offers you up to 20% discount on your supplementary insurance. You also receive the ‘Fit module’ free of charge, a package to become fitter and more vital, and there are extra coverages in the supplementary policies. You have 100% freedom of choice plus full coverage of treatment by your family doctor, hospitals and specialist clinics.

For further information on premiums and reimbursements or to register for health insurance, visit the health insurer's website or contact their customer service.
