A hearing aid can be an expensive purchase. However, it is covered in whole or in part by health insurance. But what exactly does this one cover, and when? We can imagine that this is difficult to understand properly. On this page, we explain it to you.<\/p>\n\n
The health insurer will reimburse 75% of the cost from the basic insurance when the conditions of the hearing protocol<\/a> of Zorgverzekeraars Nederland are met. Those conditions are: <\/p>\n\n Everyone in the Netherlands has a deductible. The legally required deductible is \u20ac 385, and you can set it to a maximum of \u20ac 885. Your premium will then go down, but when you incur healthcare costs, these will first be at your own expense until the specified amount is reached. If you have not used up your deductible in the current calendar year, this amount will be deducted from the reimbursement you receive from your health insurance company under the basic insurance. <\/p>\n\n Because the health insurance covers a maximum of 75% from the basic insurance, 25% remains. We call this the own contribution. In principle, you pay these costs yourself. If you have supplementary insurance, the health insurance company may pay all or part of the co-payment. <\/p>\n\n\n
