Municipal Policy
Do you have a low income and high healthcare costs? If so, you can sign up for the Voorschoten municipal health insurance plan (group health insurance). You can purchase this insurance through the health insurer Zorg en Zekerheid.
The main advantage of the municipal health insurance plan is that you’re well covered if you need medical care. You’ll receive comprehensive coverage for dental care, physical therapy, orthodontics, and eyeglasses. You’ll also receive a discount on supplemental insurance, and the municipality will pay a portion of the premium.
