What covers Wereldfit?
Many people need more extensive coverage than the coverage their basic health-care plan offers abroad. This is why ONVZ has developed Wereldfit. A supplementary health-care plan for all medical expenses incurred abroad.
Wereldfit supplementary health-care plan
A supplementary health-care plan for all medical expenses incurred abroad.
Key benefits
-
Medical costs abroad may turn out higher than what the same care would have cost in the Netherlands. It is therefore important to know that the basic health-care plan covers expenses up to a maximum of the Dutch rate. If the health care provided abroad is more expensive than the amount that would in the Netherlands, you will have to pay the difference yourself.
With Wereldfit you are covered for up to 180 days for the costs that exceed the Dutch rate, as long as these costs are not excessively high.
-
Accommodation and transportation costs
Wereldfit includes extensive cover for emergency care abroad and situations in which you have to return earlier because of family circumstances, for example. Read more.
Besides covering the costs of urgent medical assistance, Wereldfit also covers additional accommodation and transportation costs. For example, if you have to return from abroad earlier than planned due to a (serious) accident or (serious) illness of a travel companion or family member. -
