Do you legally work in the Netherlands? Most likely you are automatically covered by the Long-term Care Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine if you are covered by the Long-term Care Act, we need the following documents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your health care ID card or policy document of your Dutch health insurance. You may also show us the digital policy document on your phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valid proof of identity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-606d8907 has-text-align-center Bloemenhove-Kadertekst\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em><em>Abortion clinics in the Netherlands are funded by the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports. Abortion costs are not paid by your health insurance and are not charged to your deductible excess (\u2018eigen risico\u2019). This means you will not receive any invoice copy or other communication from your health insurance, nor will the treatment be displayed on any healthcare cost statement. Please note: if you have an abortion in the hospital, payment will be settled through your health insurance.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"no-dutch-health-insurance-but-covered-by-the-long-term-care-act-wlz\">No Dutch health insurance, but covered by the Long-term Care Act (WLZ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t have Dutch health insurance? You may be covered by the Long-term Care Act (WLZ). If so, you need to proof that you pay tax in the Netherlands. For this purpose, please bring one of the following documents on your first visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two of your latest payslips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"illegal-resident-temporary-resident-in-the-netherlands-or-living-abroad\">Foreign students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you studying in the Netherlands as an exchange student? Then the costs of treatment will be at your own expense. A BSN number, GBA registration, European Health insurance and\/or (private) student insurance (for example AON, FBTO or Ooms) do not entitle you to compensation through the Long-term Care Act (WLZ).<br>Only if you work in paid employment in the Netherlands alongside your studies and pay taxes here, the treatment will be free of charge. In that case, bring a copy of two of your last pay slips with you to your appointment.<br><br>Information on this topic can also be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svb.nl\/en\/the-wlz-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SVB website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"illegal-resident-temporary-resident-in-the-netherlands-or-living-abroad\">Illegal resident, temporary resident in the Netherlands, or living abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not entitled to compensation through the Long-term Care Act (WLZ) or if you live abroad, you will have to pay for the abortion yourself.
